What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-ready team where I can own end-to-end QA, expand Python/Playwright automation, strengthen CI/CD testing, and improve reliability through performance and API testing.

I’m a results-driven Senior QA Engineer with 20 years of experience delivering high-quality software across fintech, insurtech, IoT, and enterprise domains. I design scalable test strategies and lead cross-functional QA efforts in fast-paced Agile environments, balancing manual and automated testing in a 70/30 split.

I build and maintain Python-based automation frameworks with Pytest and Playwright, and I deliver clear results using TestRail and Allure. I also integrate smoke tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI), working with cloud infrastructure such as Azure and Kubernetes to support reliable, repeatable releases.

From performance and stress testing with Locust to API testing using Swagger/Postman, I focus on measurable risk reduction and faster feedback. I’ve authored internal QA knowledge to improve onboarding, mentored new team members, and achieved outcomes like eliminating human verification errors and improving operational efficiency for report generation.
