Experience
· BNP Paribas
Sr. QA Engineer — BNP Paribas
Worked on trading UIs and related services used directly by front-office desks in capital markets.
Understanding trader workflows
Testing with the end-user (trader) context in mind.
- Learned how traders used the system in real life — which screens and actions mattered most for their day.
- Created end-to-end tests that mirrored actual workflows instead of isolated UI actions.
- Worked with front-office and business analysts to validate behaviour around pricing, booking and corrections.
Stability under volatile conditions
Making sure the system stays usable when volumes and volatility spike.
- Paid attention to responsiveness and error handling when market data and trading activity were high.
- Helped uncover issues that only appeared under load or in unusual market conditions.
- Worked closely with devs to reproduce and understand these issues so they could be fixed robustly.
Quality habits built here
Habits I carry into every later role.
- Thinking about quality from the user’s context, not only the system’s perspective.
- Being curious about edge cases and market scenarios that aren’t obvious from requirements alone.
- Communicating clearly with both technical and business stakeholders about risk and impact.
Applying this to your team
Especially useful for products with demanding internal users.
I can help you design tests and processes that reflect how users
actually work with your system, not just what the requirements say.
