Kirill Branovets
@kirillbranovets
I build QA automation, lead teams, and cut regression time for complex products.
BelarusWhat I'm looking for
At LeverX, I maintain and extend a 100+ test automated suite using JavaScript and WebdriverIO/wdi5, while configuring Jenkins pipelines and automating smoke testing before releases.
Previously at POPIPLAY, I led a QA team of 4+ engineers, onboarded and trained five teammates, and built QA processes and documentation from the ground up. I partnered with developers to cut pre-release regression time by about 50% and reduced production bugs to near-zero through comprehensive checklists and test plans.
Across BGaming, Godel Technologies Europe, EPAM Systems, and Nuance Communications + Microsoft, I've tested gaming, payments, microservices, eCommerce, AI, and real-time data systems. I believe strong QA leaders stay hands-on with code and automation.
