Start-up Mode: Wearing Many Hats as QA

Fabian Kempert

QA Manager – Groupe Chantelle, Germany

I was born, raised and educated in the German countryside; but after my initial vocal education as an Early Childhood Professional, I soon left the country to live in Egypt for 7 years. I trained there after a couple of years, and one Revolution later, to become a German Teacher for the Goethe Institute. I moved for a quick stint to Dublin and stayed a year to teach German, before moving on to Bucharest, where I stayed for 4 years and worked as a German Teacher and Translator. Today, I am back in the German countryside where I originally came from. I decided it’s time to change jobs, and studied for a Master in Technical Communication and Localisation, which I completed this year. At the same time the opportunity arose to move from Localisation management to QA. Today, I’m the QA Manager in the company I am working for.
