QA Technical Lead at Aeroclub introducing AI-assisted testing; built CatchClub.app with 160+ API endpoints.
What I'm looking for
At Aeroclub, I serve as QA Technical Lead for travel technology and API systems, helping establish testing and automation practices. I’m introducing AI into QA workflows through AI-assisted development and review.
I built CatchClub.app, a Telegram-centric community SaaS, as an independent engineer using AI coding assistants throughout architecture and delivery. I implemented 160+ API endpoints and 150+ database migrations, along with onboarding, payment, and community administration features.
At JJO, I engineered a Python/pytest automation framework with fixtures, Page Objects, Selenoid parallelization, and Allure reporting. I also assessed smart-contract risks and validated data-provider and oracle APIs.
Across earlier QA roles, I developed automation and regression coverage for web, mobile, backend, and API systems. My experience includes Python and Java testing, CI-driven checks, and investigating defects with logs, APIs, and SQL.
