QA Automation Engineer with 6+ years building test processes and CI automation to ensure quality and faster delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Automation Engineer focused on aligning quality processes with product vision and user experience. With 6+ years across web, SaaS, ad tech, and game development, I help teams deliver reliably while keeping usability at the center.
I bring hands-on experience building QA processes from scratch—then integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines. In past roles, I established standardized QA approaches and improved how development, QA, and product collaborate to reduce friction and raise delivery confidence.
My work emphasizes measurable outcomes. I’ve achieved 95% test accuracy and faster delivery cycles by implementing clear testing processes, and I’ve improved defect detection by 30% through well-designed regression and API testing workflows.
I also combine QA automation with strong system understanding from my .NET, C#, and Python background. In game development, I built and led a QA automation department from zero, increased testing efficiency by 30%, reduced manual effort using custom Unity tools, and identified issues like memory leaks using Unity Profiler, ADB, and console debugging—always aiming to keep quality high while speeding up delivery.
