He believes that whatever he is today is only because of this family. Diego says, “Without them I would never have had the experiences and opportunities that I’ve been able to enjoy. More importantly, they have always held me up in the bad times and celebrated with me during the good times.”
For Diego, this level of trust is reciprocal. He says, “I know that I can depend fully on them for anything, and I will always be there for them in turn.”
Besides the unwavering trust and unconditional support, the family has also been his greatest motivator. “While other motivations and passions come and go, family is and always has been, forever,” adds Diego.
Diego says that he was introduced to the world of software while attending university, when he worked for the school to make mobile apps for students, teachers and the school administration.
From developing apps to fixing them, the journey was not so long. He soon realized that fixing these apps was his area of interest.
Diego loves working at Qualitest because of the exciting nature of his work and the vibrant, multicultural workplace atmosphere.
When it comes to learning, he further adds, “Definitely don’t think this is a role one can ever fully master as new tasks, tools, and team members are always popping up!”
Still, there are a lot of things he learned while at Qualitest, such as teamwork, technical skills, analytical skills, responsibility, communication, and more!
He has a piece of very simple advice for the budding QA experts – “As a recent graduate and inductee into the world of QA, dig into your own school projects and see how quickly they break apart. Finding out just how fragile my projects were was all it took to get me on board.”
When Diego is not working, he spends valuable time with family or keeps himself busy with instruments, LEGO, woodworking, skateboarding, swimming, travel, reading, having beer with friends and League of Legends. His favorite novel is Hyperion Cantos.
