What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA Automation role where I can build UI/API test frameworks, integrate them into CI/CD, and use AI assistants to speed up test planning and implementation while improving delivery quality.

I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 7 years of QA experience, focused on test automation for UI and APIs. I build and maintain automation frameworks from scratch, combining TypeScript/JavaScript and Python with tools like Playwright, Selenium, and Cypress to improve speed and reliability.

I also integrate CI/CD testing into real delivery pipelines (Bitbucket, TeamCity, Jenkins) with reporting (Allure) and scalable test environments (Docker, Kafka, RabbitMQ). I leverage AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code—and MCP-based workflows—to accelerate test plan creation, coding, refactoring, and routine automation.
