@artemstepanov

QA automation engineer specializing in Java/Spring API testing and Playwright UI automation for aviation software quality.

What I'm looking for

I want to work as a QA automation engineer in a team that values quality and collaboration. I’m eager to automate API and UI testing with Java/Playwright, contribute domain-aware scenarios, and support delivery through clear reporting and fast feedback.

I’m a QA automation engineer focused on building reliable test coverage across APIs and UIs, using Java, Spring Framework, REST Assured, Postman, and Playwright. At AFLT-SYSTEMS, I automated API tests, created UI automation, analyzed HTTP traffic with Chrome DevTools, and generated reporting with Allure to improve transparency and speed of feedback.

I also strengthen quality through manual integration testing—designing test cases and validating data exchange between interconnected systems. I support cross-functional teams by recommending enhancements, clarifying business processes, and helping developers address complex functional issues.

Beyond testing, I bring aviation domain expertise from aircraft maintenance and technical documentation work at Aeroflot. I developed an internal Excel-based automation tool to reduce manual effort in engineering effort allocation, and I supported a major aviation software migration by advising on domain logic and supporting the transition from legacy systems to a new platform.
