What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead QA strategy and automation, improve test coverage, work with cross-functional teams, and drive continuous improvement in a collaborative, agile environment.

I am a Senior Test Engineer and software developer with deep experience in manual and automated testing, QA process definition, and language-oriented programming. I have delivered testing strategies, implemented non-functional testing, and designed laboratory environments to improve test coverage across multiple projects.

Previously I worked as a software developer/tester across embedded, backend and frontend projects, developing domain-specific languages, UI and API test automation, and contributing to build management and backend development. I have hands-on experience with test tools (UFT, Selenium, Cucumber), CI/CD, and a broad programming stack including C++, Java, Python and more.

I bring a pragmatic, quality-focused mindset to teams, advising on test strategies and introducing test methods and tools that scale. I am motivated to drive continuous improvement in QA processes and deliver reliable software through strong automation and clear test design.
