What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on role focused on technical expertise in Web3 or fintech, rather than a management track.

At DFK Pearl Diver, I coordinated QA for a Web3 game with an on-chain economy, including wallet, DEX, and EVM-node testing. I moved test documentation and regression coverage into Qase, helping reduce production defects by about 35% across three release cycles.

At SafeBlock DEX, I tested cross-chain token routes across nine networks and used REST and WebSocket traffic alongside on-chain results to identify routing and price-impact defects before production. I also built a route-check matrix and stabilized regression testing before releases.

Earlier, at Иннотех, I tested a corporate-client migration from Открытие to ВТБ, where 86% of clients were migrated under the planned process. At Бэлл Интегратор, ООО, I advanced from test engineer to QA Manager, established testing processes across three projects, and grew two team leads. I’m now focused on hands-on technical work in Web3 and fintech, and I’m independently learning test automation with Python.
