From a factory to IT: the story of TesterToday

My path into IT did not start at university or with a childhood dream of becoming a programmer. I used to work as a chemical process engineer at a paint factory, and at some point I realized that I did not see career growth for myself in that profession.

I wanted a field where I could keep developing: in knowledge, skills, tasks, and income. After analyzing my abilities, I chose programming, completed a Java course, and a year later got my first job.

Over 8 years, I worked on different projects and in different roles. Eventually, I wanted to share my experience and help people who, like me once, found themselves at a crossroads.

That is how TesterToday appeared — a project for people who want to understand testing, try real tasks, and take their first steps into a new profession with more confidence.
