When working for the biggest mobile operator in Poland, I implemented new testing procedures that led to a much higher QA and efficient development, increasing contract value by 50%.
I was able to achieve this thanks to an active, goals-driven, multi-location team (that I've built) with the right balance of constant hunger for new challenges and having fun achieving them together.
