My name is MICHAEL. 34 years. Not married. Born and lived most of his life in a small town in the Far East in the Khabarovsk Territory. At the institute he studied to be a chemical technologist, but since he needed money, he had to leave his studies and go to work at an oil refinery. After working there as a worker for 3.5 years and as an economist in the supply department for 1 year, I decided to move to Khabarovsk, since it was boring in my hometown. And after 2.5 years in Khabarovsk, I finally decided to travel to the other end of the country - to St. Petersburg. Upon arrival, due to my lack of a diploma, I had to work in different types of companies: I tried myself as a sales manager with a "cold" call, and a video editor, and a photographer-retoucher ... In general, there was a lot of things. I got into gamedev quite suddenly. One fine day I just realized that in St. Petersburg, unlike the Khabarovsk Territory, there is gamedev, and decided to read various articles on the Internet on how to get there. And in the then still alive LiveJournal I came across a message where, as an option, they offered to post their resume on dailytelefrag.ru and recommended to try themselves as a tester. So, armed with my huge baggage of passed games (I had already played a lot by that time, even in those games that were released before my birth) and after reading several detailed articles about what and how a tester should do, I posted my summary and surprisingly received a fairly quick response from a mobile game development company. They didn't have a testing department at all, so I became their first tester, and they became my first game development company. After 9 months of work in this company, I decided to try myself in a larger project and got a job as a specialist in the testing department at Wargaming Spb. At that moment, their World of Warships project was in the closed alpha stage and was gaining momentum with might and main, so there was a lot of work, the work was interesting. It was there that I got the idea that many routine things like reporting, monitoring, etc. can be simplified using simple scripts. So I began to dive into python, thanks to books and the help of fellow programmers, I was able to slightly improve the working life of the team.
