What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own QA automation end-to-end—building frameworks, CI workflows, and critical-scenario regression—to ship faster with clear quality signals and strong collaboration.

I’m a QA Automation Engineer with about 4 years in testing, and I’m at my best when I build QA processes and test frameworks from scratch. Right now, I’m the only automation engineer on a 3-person QA team at AgroSense, an IoT platform for agriculture.

I picked the test management tool, set up the bug workflow, and built the CI/CD pipeline in GitLab CI—none of this existed before me. I wrote a Python/Pytest automation framework from scratch using a CustomRequester/ApiManager structure, designed 250+ test cases across E2E, API, and UI, and used Pydantic to validate API response schemas.

I focused on impact: I automated 70% of critical scenarios and got pre-release regression from a full day of manual testing to about 2 hours, enabling the team to move from monthly to bi-weekly releases. I also queried PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB directly to verify sensor data aggregation and localized bugs across the IoT gateway and backend using Kibana, Charles Proxy, and Bash/SSH.

Before AgroSense, I spent almost 3 years testing a high-load C# backend for a sports betting platform, where I worked with many microservices and Kafka and made sure the money math was always correct. I ran releases with Grafana and Prometheus, reviewed UI designs before development, and collaborated closely with React/TypeScript developers to debug network issues.

Picked the TMS, set up the bug workflow and CI/CD pipeline in GitLab CI — none of this existed before me.

Wrote a test automation framework from scratch in Python/Pytest, with CustomRequester/ApiManager structure.

Designed 250+ test cases across E2E, API and UI, covering the critical paths of the platform.

Used Pydantic to validate API response schemas instead of writing dozens of manual assert

Tested 15+ microservices, both on their own and as part of the full flow, using Postman and Swagger.

Wrote SQL scripts in PostgreSQL to check financial data end-to-end — from balance top-up to payout.
Checked async service-to-service communication over Kafka, made sure message schemas in the queue were correct.

Watched Grafana and Prometheus during releases to catch anything unusual under load.
