What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own release validation for SaaS platforms and APIs, collaborate tightly with engineering and product, and keep raising quality through risk-based testing and automation.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 8+ years of experience testing web applications, backend services, APIs, and high-traffic SaaS platforms in Agile environments. I validate complex business workflows across UI, API, and backend layers with a strong focus on release quality, system integration, and production stability.

In my current role at Dodo Brands, I own quality validation for distributed systems and customer-facing workflows, designing test plans and regression scenarios from product requirements. I validate REST APIs and backend integrations using Postman, logs, and SQL queries, and I investigate production issues through API responses, monitoring tools, and root cause analysis—reducing production defects by 80% and improving regression efficiency by 40%.

I’ve also supported fast, high-quality releases at Data Driven Lab, VK, and IBS—coordinating structured test coverage for critical business workflows, mentoring QA engineers, and optimizing test prioritization to reduce defect rates. I collaborate closely with developers, product managers, analysts, and stakeholders across the delivery lifecycle, and I support automation initiatives using Selenium, Appium, XCTest, and CI/CD workflows, including familiarity with Playwright and Cypress.
