Summary

I am an experienced test professional with a focus on test management and technical testing. I
have worked with business-critical projects for e.g. UFST (technical tester), SOS International
(test SME), PFA Pension (test manager), Edlund (test SME) and Volkswagen Financial Services
(test manager and technical tester).

As a test manager, I aim at a risk-based approach to testing, ensuring that the most critical tests
are tested first. This is embedded in both the test strategy and test plan after clarification with
both the business and the developers. This approach means that I experience few critical errors
in production.

I hold a MSc in mathematics and communication. This has meant that I am, on the one hand,
analytical and logical thinking, and regardless of the domain, I am able to break down the
complexity using analysis and testing techniques. On the other hand, I communicate at eye
level and manages to understand what motivates people.

I have filled roles from test analyst to test manager and test architect to technical tester. I
always brings my deep passion for software testing and quality assurance to any project I am
part of.

I help my colleagues to become better testers, as I am constantly striving to raise the level in
testing. According to me, it is only when knowledge is shared and used that it adds value. I am
curious and an excellent problem solver with a pragmatic and analytical approach to my work.
