Founded and architected a multimodal AI platform with microservices on Google Cloud Run, built model provider orchestration, payments, auth, and integrated multimodal generation models for image, video, and audio.

Built LLM-powered internal developer tools and full-stack automation systems that reduced test authoring from 1 week to 4 hours and increased player retention by 14–15% through data-driven feature work.

Defined the QA roadmap and built a dual-track automation ecosystem (Python API/db validation and Cypress E2E) while integrating GPT-3.5 to accelerate test generation and increase coverage.

Led root-cause analysis for production incidents and developed Python automated test suites for critical game mechanics, raising test coverage and mentoring junior engineers.

Built a localization QA framework and automated localization tooling that doubled delivery speed and implemented Python automation suites for iOS/Android and API validation to catch critical defects pre-production.

Completed multiple professional courses covering backend engineering, CI/CD, Python for SDETs, API testing, test design, and intermediate SQL.

Completed a Bachelor's degree in Cross-cultural Communication at the University of Graz.

Completed a Bachelor's degree in Translation and Interpretation at Minsk State Linguistic University.
