What is something people in your industry have to deal with that you want to fix?
Perhaps I did not face something yet that I can say I want to fix for the Software development industry, improvements are very fast ongoing in the software industry, but in general, it interests me how the automation of some development processes (e.g UI testing automation ) can massively save time and efforts and avoid faults during manual testing.

Starting from 2011 and after my graduation from faculty of science- mathematics/computer science major I have been enrolled in a 9-month program internship for open source development, during that program I got introduced to frontend/backend foundations, I began my journey with development, first, as a backend developer, then I moved to work as a software engineer at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland, for 2 years there I was the database group convener, responsible for communicating all stakeholders (Leaders, scientists, CERN IT ) in order to design/build a database also participated in design and building web-based monitoring system for one of the sub-detectors in CMS experiment.
