Eva Podbrdská
QA Engineer

I work as a tester on the backend team of Showmax - a VoD platform operating in sub-saharan Africa.
I switched my career into IT in 2019 after my parental leave and it was the best decision in my life so far. I enjoy figuring out how things work, I enjoy playing with APIs, microservices and databases and most of all I enjoy asking questions.
I love dogs and sometimes torture my violin.
I am autistic (and probably also ADHD)
