## About

```text
At EPAM Systems, I test client-server and distributed systems across FinTech, trading, and banking, covering web, mobile, and backend applications. I design and execute test cases for complex workflows and validate APIs and databases using tools including Postman, Swagger, SQL, and PostgreSQL.

For a mobile banking product, I created and maintained 250+ test cases and identified 30+ defects, all accepted and resolved. I also investigated system behavior with Linux CLI, server-side logs, Grafana, and Kafka, and validated releases using Octopus Deploy.

I taught Manual QA Basics at Schole Centre, guiding aspiring QA professionals through requirements analysis, test design, test execution, and defect reporting. I also contributed to delivery improvements at EPAM Systems through a Confluence knowledge-sharing system and AI-assisted QA workflows.
