## About

```text
At Optimove, I contribute to QA strategy and quality standards across cross-functional teams. I helped evolve a scalable automation framework and developed UI, API, integration, and end-to-end tests using C#, Cypress, and Playwright.

I integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and contribute to release readiness, risk assessment, and quality sign-off. I also investigate production issues and use Claude AI and Cursor AI to support automation development and code quality.

At Infopulse, I contributed to QA process improvements and automation strategy, developed Selenium WebDriver UI tests, implemented API automation, and developed mobile tests with Appium.

Earlier, I led the QA team at rabota.ua, coordinating testing activities and quality processes while developing C# and Selenium UI tests. Across my roles, I’ve also contributed to automation frameworks, mentored QA engineers, and supported product quality and release improvements.
