What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own QA/test automation end-to-end: build processes from scratch, improve test strategy and coverage, and mentor engineers—while driving measurable reductions in bug rates and regression time.

I’m a Senior AQA Engineer with 7+ years of experience in test automation. I build QA processes and automation from scratch independently, and I also work with teams to develop and train specialists.

I focus on end-to-end quality by designing test plans, scenarios, and cases, maintaining and managing QA documentation, and producing test result reports. I’ve developed and aligned test strategies to reduce regression time, increase automated coverage, and improve feedback loops for development.

In leadership roles, I’ve established requirement/testing processes, developed QA teams, and trained engineers—creating transparent, controlled workflows for expanding test coverage and automation adoption. My work consistently aims to reduce bugs caused by incorrect requirements, speed up delivery, and raise the team’s automation maturity through mentoring and onboarding.
