Senior QA Lead and SDET Engineer with 12+ years of experience designing and delivering quality strategies across enterprise web applications, APIs, and cloud-based platforms. My background spans test automation, quality leadership, and building scalable QA processes for distributed international teams.
Throughout my career, I’ve designed and executed end-to-end testing strategies across web, mobile, desktop, and API platforms. I specialize in building maintainable automation frameworks using Playwright, Cypress, and Postman/Newman, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines to reduce release risk and accelerate time-to-market.
Beyond implementation, I focus on quality architecture: defining test strategies, creating scalable QA processes, stabilizing flaky pipelines, and introducing meaningful quality gates. I’ve led and mentored QA engineers, shaped interview and onboarding processes, and supported teams in adopting modern testing practices that actually work in real delivery environments.
My experience also includes deep API and integration testing, contract validation, performance and reliability checks, and collaboration with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to ensure requirements translate into robust, testable solutions. I value clarity, feedback loops, and data-driven decision making in everything related to quality.
In most recent years i have also explored, integrated, and utilized AI techniques and tools, such as Cursor, Playwright AI, Lovable, Claude, n8n and others.
I actively leverage modern AI tools to improve software quality and engineering productivity—from accelerating test design and automation development to evaluating AI-generated outputs and exploring quality practices for AI-powered applications.
What drives me is not just finding bugs, but building confidence in releases. I enjoy working with teams that care about ownership, automation, and continuous improvement — and I’m always exploring better ways to connect QA, development, and delivery into a smooth, dependable pipeline.
