Boris Binyaminov

I’m a Senior AQA Engineer/SDET with 20+ years of hands-on experience automating and validating complex infrastructure and client-server products. My core focus is designing and building reliable automated tests that support real engineering decisions—not just “green” pipelines.

I architect and develop automation in Python with pytest for API/backend coverage, including REST API contract checks, business logic validation, negative scenarios, and integration interactions. For UI and end-to-end, I build and maintain regression coverage using Playwright and Selenium.

I integrate tests into CI/CD using GitLab CI and Jenkins with quality gates and Allure reporting, then analyze failures to drive fixes. On the infrastructure side, I work deeply with Linux test environments, storage and virtualization layers, including Docker and Kubernetes, plus logging/diagnostics and test stand setup.

Previously, I led QA as Head of QA / Lead QA and created a corporate automation framework from scratch that reached 1000+ automated tests and was adopted across teams. I set automation coverage and priorities by risk, participate in refinement and Acceptance Criteria/DoD, perform code reviews, mentor engineers, and strengthen test documentation and release verification.
