Taras Rohach
Project Manager
Summary of Qualifications
As a QC engineer, I’ve been working almost 3 years, and 2 years as an AU QA engineer, and now almost 3 years as a Project Manager. Since then I gained a good knowledge of the software development life cycle as well as QA and processes. Also, I had lots of communication with customers and analyzed requirement specifications afterward. Another thing which I found that estimating my own work time is very important, so I'm dedicating myself very consciously to this process and I’m trying to do the best I can to achieve high-quality results in software products.
I’d say that I’m a proactive and results-driven person who can properly manage own time and prioritize tasks accordingly.
