ThailandWhat I'm looking for
At Liga Stavok, I develop and maintain Java UI and API tests for a high-load sports betting platform, extending a multi-module framework and covering REST, gRPC, Kafka, and WebSocket scenarios. My smoke and regression suites cut smoke testing from 1.5 days to 2 hours and regression from 4 days to 1 day, becoming part of service quality gates that enabled auto-deploy.
I also handle manual testing, requirements analysis, and defect investigation across API, UI, and database layers. Before moving into QA automation, I led pre-project engineering solutions at Ostec Enterprise and performed manual QA for in-house MES software; I hold the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level certification.
