I build reliable software releases through QA automation, API testing, and Python-based workflow improvements.
AzerbaijanWhat I'm looking for
At Kapital Bank, I lead Quality Gate implementation for a main namespace application, manage regression cycles, and coordinate testing across modules before release. I increased QA maturity by 20% through API integration automation and expanded test coverage.
I've delivered UI, functional, API, regression, and end-to-end testing across Kapital Bank, GenAI Works, Novuter GmbH, and the Azerbaijan State Advertising Agency. My hands-on work includes Playwright, Selenium, Rest Assured, PyTest, JIRA Xray, Flask dashboards, microservice flow analysis, and Camunda business-process validation.
Alongside QA engineering, I've automated reporting with Python, contributed to backend development with Django, analyzed platform metrics, and taught Python to thousands of learners through GenAI Works and Coding Club kids.
