Valery Streltsov

I’m a results-driven QA Automation & Systems Engineer with 7+ years of Quality Assurance experience, focused on building automation frameworks that make testing faster, more reliable, and easier to run. I’ve designed and implemented Selenium advanced automation frameworks, optimized testing processes, and helped ensure high-quality software delivery.

In my current Self-Employed Contractor role, I automate environment provisioning and deployment using Docker, Docker Compose, VMware ESXi/vSphere, and AWS EC2. I also architect CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Bamboo with integrated performance testing using k6 and JMeter, and deploy monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK for proactive anomaly detection.

I build internal tools and testing platforms that reduce manual effort and accelerate onboarding. At AlgoSec, I developed Spring Boot backend and React frontend products to automate manual reporting (saving 10+ hours per week) and created training materials in Confluence and Jira that reduced new hire onboarding time by 40%.

My engineering approach blends practical automation with strong infrastructure fundamentals—Docker-based automation environments on Linux reduced setup time by ~70%, and virtualization/network configuration on VMware and VirtualBox cut provisioning time by ~50%. I also lead workshops on Selenium, Playwright, TestNG, JUnit, and Allure, and I integrate AI into workflows using the OpenAI API, GPT-4, and GitHub Copilot for code reviews, documentation, and ticket triage.
