@andrewshabaev
Senior QA Engineer specializing in automation with TypeScript and Playwright.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 4+ years of software testing experience, combining 3+ years of manual testing with 1 year of test automation. I bring a strong SDLC foundation and have delivered quality across Retail, Fintech, and Telecommunications.
In my current role, I implemented comprehensive automation smoke test suites that cut manual verification by 50% per release. I also optimized automation structure to reduce test script development time fourfold, and reworked regression coverage to isolate microservice-specific tests, cutting manual testing time by 30% per release cycle.
I develop E2E, UI, and API automation using TypeScript and Playwright (with the Page Object Model for maintainability), and I support mobile testing with Android Studio and Xcode. I’m ISTQB Certified and focused on improving the entire development process—pairing organized communication with a problem-solving mindset to help teams ship faster and with confidence.
