Ilia Dobkin

I’m a Driven software engineer with 20+ years of experience spanning product, platform, and industrial test automation—from global audit and financial systems to modern web delivery. I build reliable, reusable testing frameworks that help teams ship predictable quality, even in complex, high-risk domains.

In my recent role as a Test Automation Engineer at an iGaming technology company, I built and maintained Playwright UI automation, API and integration tests, and Artillery performance suites. I focused coverage on high-risk journeys (payments, wallet/cashier flows, game and lobby integrations) and validated responsible gaming and player-protection behavior for compliance and operator policy. I also managed GitHub Actions CI/CD for regression and smoke stages, and monitored API behavior and reliability with GCP and observability via Prometheus metrics, logging, and alerting.

Earlier, I integrated Cypress end-to-end automation from the ground up, led engineering training, and strengthened accessibility testing (AODA/WCAG) with practical quality gates. I’ve also optimized CI/CD pipelines, reduced flaky tests with deterministic patterns, and used IaC (Ansible, Terraform) to provision repeatable environments. Outside work, I maintain a self-hosted infrastructure lab (Proxmox, Caddy, CI runners, monitoring) that mirrors production-grade DevOps practices, and I’m seeking roles where I can provide testing guidance, strengthen CI/CD operations, and collaborate with teams to optimize product delivery.
