David Bezděk
Summary
ISTQB Certified Senior QA Engineer with over 8 years of experience delivering reliable and high-quality testing solutions for financial and enterprise systems.
I specialize in both manual and automated testing, with a strong focus on API testing, backend testing, and test analysis.
I help teams improve software quality by designing test cases from business requirements, automating key flows, executing tests, analysing results, and providing clear reporting to stakeholders.
My work spans complex systems where accuracy, stability, and clear communication are essential, especially in regulated and high-impact environments like FinTech and banking.
I enjoy solving challenging testing problems, improving test processes, and enabling teams to release software with confidence.
Committed to continuous learning, quality best practices, and delivering measurable value.
