PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
QA Engineer with 5+ years of experience in software quality assurance. Strong background in manual testing, plus 3+ years of Java-based automation for a large international e-commerce platform. Moved from manual QA to owning automation for business-critical features, with a steady focus on test design, requirements analysis, risk assessment and end-to-end quality.
Skilled at planning regression coverage, clarifying complex business logic, building test strategy, finding root causes, coordinating QA work and mentoring colleagues. Works closely with developers, analysts, product managers and DevOps. Builds and maintains UI and API automation with Java, Selenide, Selenium, TestNG, Maven and REST Assured and connects testing to CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Allure.
Comfortable with both manual and automated testing. Interested in Quality Engineering, Product QA and process improvement roles where I can improve product quality, strengthen documentation and workflows and use automation and AI tools to cut repetitive work.
Currently expanding automation skills into Playwright and TypeScript through self-directed learning.
