Bio
Krista Nygaard
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Svetlana for more than two years at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Scholastic, and she is one of the strongest testers in the group. Svetlana picks up new projects with ease, and is able to quickly become a subject matter expert in whatever she is asked to test. Svetlana consistently identified defects that were so difficult to reproduce and likely would have gone unnoticed until they created problems in the field - yet she was able to reproduce them and held her ground when others felt they were one off issues or user error. Because of this, she saved our company from several major production issues that surely would have resulted in very unhappy customers! Svetlana is hard working, always the first on the team to ask what else she can do to help, quick to jump in and work with others when needed, and just one of the all around nicest people to work with. She does a great job identifying what needs to be tested, writing high quality test cases, and quickly identifying any issues. I cannot speak high enough praise of Svetlana, and hope to be able to work with her again!
