Who I am
Hi, I'm Mihai.
I'm a QA Automation Engineer and web developer based in Bucharest, Romania. For 5+ years I've worked on software where quality isn't optional — drone traffic management, gaming platforms, agribusiness, and defense.
I'm ISTQB® certified across three levels and comfortable on both sides of the keyboard: I build solid test automation systems, and I write reliable web applications. That combination means I think about quality from the first line of code, not just at the end.
Whether you need a test strategy, a CI pipeline, or a new application built QA-first, I can take it from idea to a dependable, well-tested release.
Why me
Different from the rest
I'm not a developer who tests occasionally, or a QA who writes code rarely. I do both well, at the same time, on the same project.
ISTQB® certified — 3 levels
Foundation Level, Agile Tester, and Mobile Application Testing. I don't just reference quality standards — I know them, I passed the exams.
5+ years across different industries
EA Games, agribusiness, drone tech (UTM/U-space), defense & aerospace (Thales). Each industry taught me what truly matters in QA.
Manual + automation in the same place
I know when to automate and when not to. I don't turn everything into code just because I can — I make the right decision at the right time.
QA-first in web development
When I build a web application, testability is in the architecture, not added at the end. You get code that can be tested, not code that needs to be rewritten to be testable.
How I work
My process
Understand the system
I analyze the architecture, risks, and what truly matters for the business. No random testing.
Define the strategy
What to test, how, with which tools, and in what order. A concrete document, not an abstract presentation.
Execute and deliver
Iterative implementation with full visibility. Clear reports after each phase.
Transfer and autonomy
Your team takes over without dependency. Documentation, onboarding sessions, explained code.
