What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product team where I can own quality end-to-end, expand shift-left practices and automation, and use data-driven risk analysis—while mentoring engineers—to continuously reduce defect escape and speed up release readiness.

I’m a QA Engineer with over 8 years of experience across fintech, banking, and insurance, working across the full testing stack—frontend, backend, API, and data layers. I’ve built QA processes from the ground up and introduced Python automation with Playwright and pytest, cutting manual regression efforts from 90% to 40%. I also develop structured QA evaluation approaches (Pareto-layered models) to assess quality across measurable criteria without artificial scoring.

I’m hands-on with shift-left testing and end-to-end coverage, from UI through integrations, and I focus on making defects reproducible by combining log and traffic analysis (Kibana, Fiddler, Grafana) with clear readiness standards. I mentor juniors and embed quality early in development, improving outcomes like reducing re-opened validation bugs (15 to 0), defect escape rates (40% to 15%), and MTTR from hours to faster resolution.
