What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA leadership role where I can own quality for mobile and API-heavy products, mentor engineers, improve release validation and processes, and steadily expand test automation with Cypress/Playwright to boost reliability.

I’m a QA Team Lead and QA Engineer with 6+ years of commercial experience delivering high-quality web, mobile, desktop, and iOS applications across Product, iGaming, Betting, FinTech, and Automotive. I own end-to-end quality assurance, release validation, and API testing, and I’m especially strong in payment, subscription, and monetization flow testing.

I lead QA teams and optimize testing processes—building test strategy, plans, and documentation, mentoring engineers, and partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to ship reliable releases. Currently, I’m expanding into test automation (Cypress and Playwright) while using tools and data like Jira/YouTrack, Firebase, Amplitude, and feature flags to drive continuous quality improvements.
