ArmeniaWhat I'm looking for
Более 10 лет в обеспечении качества (QA) банковских и FinTech продуктов. Я прошла путь от инженера-тестировщика до Senior QA / Scrum Master в крупнейших банках (Альфа-Банк, ВТБ).
Моя сильная сторона — выстраивание прозрачных процессов тестирования с нуля, управление QA-командами и фасилитация по Scrum. Я умею находить узкие места в процессах, снимать блокеры и ускорять Time-to-Market.
Я провожу глубокое technical testing и валидацию интеграций со сторонними сервисами, включая контроль стабильности staging-сред. В работе фокусируюсь на ручном тестировании (functional, regression, exploratory) и REST API тестировании, а также на развитии автотестов.
Мой практический стек включает API Testing, Postman, SQL, Java/Kotlin, UI Testing (Selenium), Jira и Confluence. Я регулярно пишу/поддерживаю автотесты, готовлю тест-планы и отчеты, веду документацию и выстраиваю эффективное взаимодействие команды через Agile-практики.
