What I'm looking for

I'm looking for QA and test automation work where I can build reliable UI and backend test coverage, collaborate closely with product and engineering teams, and continue growing in software development, algorithms, and automation.

I'm currently leading UAT for product integrations at Wärtsilä through N.Progression, presenting validation results to business stakeholders and testing complex business requirements. I built automated UI suites, scripts, and visualization tools with Python, Selenium, and Allure that reduced regression testing time by 50%.

Previously at Ozon, I automated backend, API, and UI testing for an electronic document management system, increasing test coverage by 60%. At Uma.Tech/Gazprom Media, I built a backend automation framework from scratch for the Premier online cinema player.

My background also includes C++ test automation for ABBYY FineReader OCR and C++ desktop application development at the State Research Institute of Aviation Systems. I enjoy growing in software development, algorithms, and test automation while working closely with developers, analysts, and product teams.
