What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a QA Lead / Lead SDET role where I can build automation and QA processes from scratch, make test pipelines reliable, and set quality practices with developers.

In my current contract work, I built web test automation from scratch for an EdTech spaced-repetition flashcard platform, using Playwright and TypeScript. As the QA process and automation matured, defects found before release fell from up to 10 a day to about one a week.

At EPAM Anywhere, I led QA on a team, mentored two QA engineers, and contributed to moving a CI/CD workflow from Jenkins to GitHub Actions. I’ve also owned quality for three ski-pass marketplace products as the sole QA engineer, building the process and release validation from scratch; all three shipped with no rollbacks or critical hotfixes.
