GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA professional with 15+ years of experience in software testing, QA automation, and CI/CD quality practices. I build scalable automation solutions for complex systems, focusing on correctness, repeatability, and traceability—especially where engineering teams need actionable results fast.
Most recently, I served as the “Sole QA engineer on an internal web platform” where I designed and developed Python-based UI automation and stress testing from scratch, integrated suites into CI/CD pipelines, and reduced manual effort from ~2 months to ~2 hours. I also improved audit readiness by cutting report preparation from 1 week to ~15 minutes, reduced flakiness to make outcomes more reliable, and migrated TeamCity agents to cloud infrastructure via Argo CD to lower CI job waiting time by ~30%.
