Senior QA Automation Engineer at Plata Bank, automating gRPC microservice tests and introducing AI-powered QA tools.
What I'm looking for
At Plata Bank, I owned quality for backend gRPC microservices, setting test strategy and scope for new feature releases. I built and maintained automated tests for business logic and service-to-service communication.
I introduced AI-powered tools into the QA workflow at Plata Bank for bug investigation, root-cause analysis, and feature validation, reducing manual effort across the team.
At adviqo Group, I designed a Playwright E2E framework from scratch for a high-traffic consumer platform, covering 98% of critical user flows and regression scenarios. I also set up GitLab CI regression runs for every deployment and integrated Allure reporting.
At X5 Retail Group, I owned automation for frontend and backend services on an online grocery platform, and built a backend microservices automation project from scratch. Earlier, I tested the Delivery Club mobile app and API as the sole QA engineer on the development team.
