What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Engineer with almost 4 years of experience in web and mobile testing. I build effective testing processes, select appropriate tools, and maintain quality standards with a results-oriented approach. I focus on identifying and mitigating risks, and I care about bug reporting and defect verification.
Since 07/2024, I’ve led QA at Firebird Tours by automating repetitive QA tasks with AI tools. I improved QA efficiency by 40% using AI tools (Cursor) for tests and analysis. I performed functional and API testing for a CRM system, covering 1200+ test cases, and I worked in an Agile (Scrum) environment with cross-browser and cross-platform testing.
From 09/2023 to 07/2024 at Andersen Lab, I owned requirements investigation, testing and analysis. I developed, executed, and maintained test cases, strengthened regression and exploratory coverage, and supported quality through defect identification and reporting. I also contributed database testing using SQL and MongoDB.
Earlier roles (SIA TVC, Riga and Yandex, Vitebsk) helped me sharpen bug tracking, test case maintenance, and defect validation while working closely with development teams. I consistently add to QA process improvements and deliver dependable documentation, test scenarios, and checklists to prevent defects.
