What I'm looking for

I seek a senior QA/test automation role where I can build scalable Playwright/Cypress E2E suites, strengthen CI/CD quality, collaborate in Agile teams, and deliver measurable defect prevention and continuous improvement.

I am a certified QA Engineer with 12+ years in software testing and 8+ years focused on test automation. I have 3+ years building Playwright test suites from scratch in JavaScript and currently maintain 250+ automated end-to-end tests running daily in CI/CD, which recently helped detect and prevent five regression bugs in a single week.

I apply POM and OOP best practices to build scalable UI automation and work effectively in Agile/Scrum environments. I am proficient in API testing (Postman, Playwright), Cypress, Selenium WebDriver (Java), MySQL, CI/CD pipelines, and a broad set of QA methodologies and tools to ensure high product quality.
