EXPERIENCE
SoftServe, Inc - QA Automation Engineer
Sep 2021 - Present | Platform-level and integration-heavy systems (client environments)
• Designed, built, and maintained Python/pytest-based automation frameworks for API/integration, web UI, mobile, and desktop testing, with focus
on maintainability, reusable components, and stable CI execution.
• Owned Jenkins-based test execution ows: environment-speci c runs, credentials/env variables, parallel execution, reporting, and stability
improvements for regression suites.
• Debugged failures across distributed systems using logs, correlation IDs, Linux CLI tools, regex-based search, and network/connectivity checks.
• Validated security-relevant scenarios: permissions/roles, negative auth cases, session/token behavior, reliability cases, timeouts, and retries.
• Improved test infrastructure reliability by reducing aky failures, making CI results easier to triage, and documenting repeatable troubleshooting
steps.
• Worked with USB-connected hardware for automation labs, including USB relay boards and device switching, to keep remote device control
reliable.
Limelight Networks - QA Engineer / Automation (SoftServe engagement)
Sep 2019 - Sep 2021
• Developed Python integration test automation for Linux-based systems and Jenkins CI execution.
• Validated service interactions and data ows; supported production-like issue investigations using logs and networking checks.
• Contributed to regression stability, environment troubleshooting, and CI-based test execution reliability.
TechMagic, Inc - QA Engineer
Oct 2016 - Sep 2019
• Performed manual and automation testing for web and API products; introduced and expanded automated regression where applicable.
• Collaborated with developers to improve testability, triage defects, and document testing processes.
• Supported release veri cation and API/UI regression testing across changing product requirements.
Access Softek, Inc - QA Engineer
Jul 2014 - Oct 2016
• Performed regression testing for mobile and web products; used SQL-based data validation for release veri cation.
• Validated access-control basics and security-related scenarios; supported demos and communication with international stakeholders.
SELECTED ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Hardware-assisted Test Automation: Designed and used USB relay board-based solutions for remote device control and USB connection
switching, enabling automated testing of scenarios that required physical device disconnect/reconnect behavior.
