About

Howdy! ^.^

Aleks here, @ your service!

I work as a software developer & test automation specialist, and like any other "IT guy", I'm in a long-term relationship with my computer... Yup ‐ still a better love story than Twilight... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I remember writing my 1^st few lines of code in Pascal. It was something simple like printing out some profanity but it still blew my mind & I've been hooked ever since.

Nowadays, I'm mostly into web & mobile development but I always keep an eye on emerging technologies.

Feel free to browse my portfolio and check out what I've been working on lately.

TURN OFFs:: bugs & code smells
peas (just kill me pls...)
making useless lists

Portfolio

After earning my bachelor's degree in computer science, I've worked on various DEV & QA projects.

It all started with web development ‐ I began as a full-stack PHP developer, working with frameworks like Laravel, Yii2, and Symfony. This experience gave me a solid understanding of MVC architecture, both front- and back-end programming, unit testing & dependency management.

Being part of a team also required me to get familiar with version control systems like Git and Subversion, as well as CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub, along with CLI scripting.

Later, I became an ISTQB-certified tester and began working on test automation for large-scale projects at Daimler and Commerzbank. In addition to exploratory and functional testing, the role required a great deal of flexibility ‐ such as developing custom browser extensions and mastering XPath, Jython, Groovy.

As an open-source software advocate, I contribute to community-driven projects whenever I can and donate my spare computing power to medical, environmental, and other humanitarian research conducted by World Community Grid.

Nowadays, I'm deepening my knowledge of Node.js runtime while sharpening my JavaScript/TypeScript kung fu. As a dominant language of the Web, I find it perfect for development & test automation of modern SPAs. Additionally, I have a strong interest in Python, particularly for its AI capabilities, and I'm exploring its potential in machine learning and automation.
