Andrei Ciuperca

I’m a QA Automation Engineer focused on building and scaling test automation across UI, API, and database layers. I’ve delivered high-impact improvements by pairing strong test engineering fundamentals with modern tooling and automation frameworks.

At CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen), I was appointed DevOps Champion (TestOps) for the test pipeline, authoring the YAML orchestration across dev/QA/staging. I’m a primary contributor to a Playwright framework spanning ~1,600 UI and API tests, and I helped launch AI-powered testing agents—including Playwright MCP—that are now used across automation and manual QA for authoring new tests, refactoring, and bug retests.

Previously at US Bank, I automated 400+ manual regression cases into a data-driven Selenium suite, cutting a 2-day regression cycle to a 2.5-hour automated run. I also extended regression beyond UI by automating REST API coverage with Rest Assured and Postman, strengthening service validation independently of the front end.

I continue to push quality further into GenAI by building a personal RAG evaluation harness using LLM-as-a-Judge scoring and golden-dataset benchmarking. My approach emphasizes shift-left testing, fast feedback, and reliable pipelines—so every change is gated with meaningful signal, not noise.
