## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking for a senior QA role where I can own end-to-end quality, use Playwright and AI-assisted testing to speed planning and coverage, and collaborate closely with BAs and developers to ship with confidence.
```

## About

```text
I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 4.5+ years on fintech and esports products, owning full testing cycles end to end: requirements, test planning, manual testing, Playwright automation, and release sign-off. I built AI-assisted workflows that roughly halved requirement-review time and made test-case writing 4x+ faster, helping ensure no critical defects reached production on the current platform.

I stay client-facing when it matters—running product demos, partnering with the BA on acceptance criteria, and stepping into PM duties when needed. On top of maintaining the Playwright (TypeScript) suite, I trace production incidents through Azure (KQL), Grafana, and pgAdmin logs, build coverage matrices that other teams rely on, and mentor junior testers while onboarding across levels.
```
