@romanpidhirny
QA Engineer specializing in backend, API and integration testing with automation experience in Playwright.
What I'm looking for
I am a QA Engineer with seven years of experience focused on testing backend systems, APIs, services and integrations. I blend manual end-to-end testing with hands-on automated testing using JavaScript and Playwright to ensure reliable, production-ready software.
Throughout my career I have validated data with SQL, Postman and Swagger, performed defect analysis and risk assessment, and produced comprehensive quality documentation including test plans and release reports. I have contributed to more than 25 major releases, improving product quality and reducing defect leakage.
I have worked closely with development, product teams and customers to align requirements, plan testing efforts and communicate results clearly. I also supported hardware-software compatibility testing for POS and self-checkout solutions and participated in release planning to meet quality standards.
I bring strong cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder management and a customer-focused mindset, along with experience in tools like JIRA, TestRail, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab and Power BI. I seek roles where I can apply deep backend and API testing expertise while growing automation and quality strategy impact.
