Adelaida Sinikova
@adelaidasinikova
I build scalable test automation and QA processes for web, API, and mobile products.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I've built QA automation and release-quality processes from scratch at Alix Inc., Vivid Money, Trak Services, Yandex, and Align Technology. My work spans web, API, and mobile products, with 11 years in test automation and quality assurance.
At Trak Services, I built automation as the first QA automation engineer, achieved 40–80% coverage across projects, and reduced regression testing from two days to four hours.
At Vivid Money, I established QA for a new product team, expanded Playwright TypeScript coverage, revived mobile automation, and increased gRPC API test coverage. At Alix Inc., I integrated Playwright TypeScript automation into CI/CD and set up core QA and release flows.
I'm hands-on with modernizing legacy frameworks, building reliable automation, and improving team processes. I've also hired, onboarded, mentored, and led QA engineers while keeping close to the product and test infrastructure.
