Oleksandr Grytsai
@0008537
Senior SDET / Test Automation Engineer with 20+ years in software testing and 10+ years in automated testing of complex distributed systems; focus on
What I'm looking for
At Sevenlab, I designed and built a .NET 8 test automation framework for BioAnalytics, with isolated test data and parallel execution for more than 100 integration tests. I also automated validation across 13 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint report types, replacing manual visual checks during regression cycles.
At PharmaFlow, I was the only engineer responsible for test automation. I built a Python and Playwright framework from scratch and moved its 150-test suite into parallel Docker and Jenkins runs, reducing pipeline time from 90 minutes to 20. I added isolation and synchronization for asynchronous Kafka flows to address test flakiness.
At iDeals, I grew from the sole QA engineer on the OLU device-management platform to Test Lead, owning QA strategy and coordinating an international team. I designed a refactoring approach for more than 1,000 inherited automated tests that reduced their failure rate from 20–60% to under 1%, and engineered device emulators to load-test up to 10,000 concurrent devices.
