What I'm looking for

I’m looking for contract remote opportunities or relocation where I can drive test automation, integrate tests into CI/CD, and improve quality on high-load fintech systems—using shift-left, load testing, and data-driven QA metrics.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 4.5+ years of experience in backend and mobile (Android/iOS) testing, specializing in test automation, high-load systems, and QA process optimization. I’ve worked on high-load fintech environments and enjoy turning quality goals into measurable outcomes.

At Tinkoff (T-Bank), I led end-to-end testing for the “Fuel in the City” mobile application. I eliminated manual backend regression by achieving 95% test automation and integrating automated tests into the release pipeline, while increasing service performance by 10x through load testing.

I focus on sustainable QA practices that reduce risk without slowing delivery. By introducing a shift-left approach and a zero bug policy, I reduced the defect rate by 50% and doubled release frequency using feature-branch testing.

I build and maintain test documentation (checklists, test cases), track and drive defect resolution, and continuously analyze quality metrics like test coverage and defect lifecycle. I automate with Java and Kotlin (JUnit, Allure), run load tests with Gatling, and support monitoring and alerting with Prometheus and Grafana.
