Background

About Valentin Ciobanu

I work at the intersection of software engineering, quality assurance, business analysis, and data analytics. As a Senior Software Quality & Test Automation Engineer, I focus on requirements analysis, stakeholder alignment, and data-driven strategies to improve product quality across the full software development lifecycle. I regularly collaborate with product owners, developers, and business stakeholders to define acceptance criteria and support informed technical decisions. Recent impact includes reducing validation cycles by ~30% and increasing automation coverage by ~40%, supporting large-scale software systems across distributed international teams. Technical profile includes Python, test automation, system and integration testing, and applied data analysis in high-reliability environments. Alongside my industry work, I am pursuing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering & Mechatronics, which deepens my analytical and systems-level problem-solving skills. I focus on roles that bridge strong technical execution with requirements analysis, stakeholder communication, and data-driven decision-making.
