From intern to CEO with agile testing expert Alex Schladebeck
In this episode, I talk to Alex Schladebeck, a testing expert, and a powerful voice in the tech community. Alex is the CEO of Bredex, a dev shop that offers tailor-made IT solutions but also specializes in quality assurance and testing. A decade ago, Alex graduated in linguistic and came into tech by accident. So, I obviously have to ask her about her career transition, and testing. What we talk about: - transitioning into tech from a non-traditional background - what it takes to get from an intern position to becoming the CEO - which role testing plays at Bredex - how mob or ensemble programming is used to facilitate learning - how to lead remote software teams
