What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue building Swift/XCUITest UI automation frameworks, deepen CI/CD test integration, and drive measurable improvements in execution time and coverage—working on mobile products where quality is built into the release process.

I’m an iOS QA Automation Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and scaling UI automation frameworks with Swift and XCUITest. I’ve delivered automation across e-commerce and fintech, with a focus on integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and improving testing efficiency.

At DM-Tech (Detskiy Mir), I develop and scale end-to-end and mock UI tests, enhance CI/CD integration scenarios, and manage regression testing cycles prior to each release. I reduced average test execution time by 20% using deeplink-based navigation and expanded automated test coverage by 60% across critical user flows, while also supporting code reviews and educational meetups.
