What I'm looking for

I seek a role emphasizing automation and test framework ownership within collaborative teams that value CI/CD, quality engineering leadership, and technical growth.

I am a Quality Assurance Engineer with extensive experience in automation for finance, telecom and web platforms, currently working at Deutsche Bank Romania. I focus on building reliable automated test suites using Selenium, Java, C# and CI tools to improve product quality and speed releases.

Over a decade I have delivered automation and verification across banking, telecom and embedded/desktop applications, contributing to projects for Deutsche Bank, Avaya outsourcing, European Space Agency-related products and multiple web/mobile clients. I routinely work with tools like Jenkins, Maven/Gradle, Git and test frameworks such as JUnit, Cucumber and Serenity.

Key accomplishments include leading automation on the ICR project at Deutsche Bank, creating test frameworks and automating regression suites for Avaya IP Office Manager, and implementing web and mobile automated tests for consumer and enterprise products. I combine manual testing expertise with automated strategies to increase test coverage and stability.

I communicate effectively in English (Full Professional) and have basic French; I prioritize collaboration with developers and DevOps to maintain CI pipelines, reliable test environments, and actionable test reporting that reduces production risk.
