Anna doesn't wait to be told what to test — she builds the process herself. On multiple projects she was the first QA on the team, creating documentation, strategies, and workflows from scratch. She communicates directly with product owners, aligns testing priorities with business timelines, and owns release sign-off decisions. She mentors new hires and helps teams scale. Analytical, reliable, and genuinely quality-driven — she treats every release as her personal responsibility. Easy to work with, calm under pressure, and always one step ahead of the next bug.
