What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote role where I can build and improve test automation, strengthen CI/CD quality gates, lead QA delivery, and collaborate closely with product, engineering, and client teams.

At NPO Automotive, I built a Playwright and TypeScript automation framework from scratch, cutting regression execution from three days to 40 minutes and increasing critical test coverage by 80%. I lead QA automation, architecture, CI integration, and Agile delivery for MES software in a 50+ person environment.

Previously at Gehtsoft USA, I tested fintech products including FCLite and Trading Station used by 5M+ users, identifying 30+ critical API defects before release. I also led release coordination, QA strategy, and a distributed team of 3–4 engineers, reducing the development-to-release cycle by 30%.

Over 22 years, I’ve built QA functions from scratch, automated 50+ payment gateways and 300+ plugins, and mentored QA teams of up to 10 engineers. I combine hands-on manual and automated testing with API quality, log analysis, CI/CD, and practical use of LLM tools for test scenarios and workflows.
