What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote QA role focused on end-to-end testing and test automation, where I can drive risk-based release readiness, improve quality metrics, and validate AI- and live-service workflows across web, mobile, and APIs.

I’m an ISTQB-certified QA Engineer with 4 years of experience testing web, mobile, API, AI-powered, and live-service applications across software and gaming environments. I focus on functional, regression, exploratory, and API testing—using Playwright automation to improve QA efficiency and reduce post-release defects through risk-based testing and strong release readiness.

In my recent work, I’ve performed end-to-end QA for two live-service Unity mobile games, validating cross-platform Android/iOS features, AI-powered companion conversations integrated with OpenAI models, and backend functionality via PlayFab. Previously, as a QA Lead, I led 6–7 engineers and owned QA strategy and security testing (OWASP ZAP, SQLMap), architected an AI-assisted MCP + Playwright workflow that generated scenarios from Jira, and built a Playwright TypeScript automation framework integrated with GitHub Actions—cutting post-release defects by 30%.
