Profile - Andrei Rădulescu 🧑🏼💻

About 🎙
I am a well-rounded engineer with experience in various projects, from different domains, that allowed me to touch upon a wide range of technologies. I am also very familiar with all the levels of product development, from the concept and proposal stages to post-delivery customer support.
Being used to working in small teams, I’ve gotten the hang of wearing more than one hat. As a Test Manager, I closely monitor the product life cycle, use my in-depth understanding of the product and adjust the extent of the testing strategy. Wearing the tester helm, I’m highly adaptable to the product: I bring in all my past experiences and forge a context visor through which I glance at the piece of software. As a developer, I’m using my high level of creativity to write tailored tools and scripts. When leading teams, I do so by example. I am a skilful negotiator, a fast learner and eager mentor that drives the quality of the products tailored to the end-user needs. I am a team player and I bring value to any engineering team as an avid supporter of debating and brainstorming.
