About Rui Rodrigues

Currently working in software testing, my professional life has always had something to do with an IT environment. It all started in a small computer shop building desktops and solving hardware issues. That taught me to be humble and to embrace everyday clients simple problems as my own. Years later I found myself teaching the basics of office, database and programming. That can be more complicated than it sounds because there is a strong human component to it, mainly when dealing with people who left school early. Then entered the QA world almost by mistake at LaRedoute where a UI large scale automation run was required in order to prevent regression in every day deployments. Although using the Cerberus automation tool, really enjoyed learning and working with selenium, xpath and databases. But soon my skills were put to the test and I took the opportunity at Talkdesk. The QA process I was using completely shifted to the left, giving me the opportunity to see and correct problems even at design if needed and then, a new set of those skills were required. It's been a rewarding experience full of challenges at all levels. I’m a sports enthusiast dedicated to ultra-endurance cycling, a demanding sport for the human body. Finished some of the most extreme races in the world, impossible to accomplish without a sharp, focused and determined mind
