Bogdan Petrov
@bogdanpetrov
Senior QA Engineer specializing in manual and automated API, web, and mobile testing across fintech, Web3, and game platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 5+ years delivering quality across web, API, mobile, and backend-heavy products. I’ve worked in fintech/Web3, AAA gamedev, and EdTech, and I focus on building reliable release confidence—not just catching defects.
I’m strong in functional, regression, smoke/sanity, integration, system, and end-to-end testing, with deep API coverage using REST, Postman, and Swagger/OpenAPI (including contract and negative testing). I design test plans, regression strategies, and risk assessments from requirements review through release sign-off.
In automation, I build and maintain CI-integrated suites in Python (pytest) and TypeScript/JavaScript (Playwright), and I support device and browser testing with Appium and tools like BrowserStack. I integrate automation into pipelines such as GitLab CI and Jenkins using Docker-based environments.
When issues hit production, I localize root causes by correlating logs, metrics, and request traces in Kibana, Graylog, and Grafana—then translate findings into clear, reproducible bug reports. I also use AI tooling daily to accelerate test design, data generation, and log triage while keeping engineering judgment in the loop.
