PROFILE
Senior QA Engineer with 6+ years of experience testing web, mobile, backend and API-heavy systems. Combines deep
manual exploratory testing with practical AI-assisted Playwright + TypeScript automation, along with hands-on
experience testing AI-powered features (prompt/response pipelines, model output consistency, fallback logic) and
working knowledge of security and load testing (OWASP ZAP, JMeter, Grafana).
Strengths: API validation, regression strategy, defect analysis, release risk assessment, setting up QA processes from
scratch, and clear communication with developers, POs/BAs and clients. Best fit for teams working on AI-enabled,
security-sensitive, integration-heavy or technically complex products.
