Test Automation Engineer with 6+ years of experience in UI and API automation for complex web applications. My
primary automation expertise is in Java, while I also have a solid understanding of JavaScript and its use in test
automation.
Experienced in testing microservice-based and event-driven systems, including REST API integrations, asynchronous
message flows, Apache Kafka, Google Cloud messaging services, and data validation across distributed components.
Worked with multiple domains, frameworks, and architectures, which helped me develop a strong ability to quickly
understand new systems, contribute to existing automation solutions, and improve test reliability and maintainability.
Skilled in automated test development, API-based test data setup, regression analysis, debugging, framework
improvements, code reviews, and defect investigation. Regularly collaborated with developers and QA engineers to
support stable and quality-focused delivery.

Experience
Delasport | Software Test Automation Engineer
November 2025 - April 2026
Project:
IGaming
Technologies & Tools:
Java 21 · JUnit · Spring · Selenide/Playwright · PostgreSQL · Jenkins · DBeaver
Key Responsibilities:
● Developed and maintained UI automated test cases with complex test data setup via API, including creation and
update flows for dependent entities using DTO-based requests and multiple endpoints
● Improved the test automation framework by identifying missing HTTP status code validation in the existing HTTP
client, which reduced regression failure analysis time and improved root cause detection
● Refactored duplicated framework code by introducing reusable test services for test data preparation and API
interactions
● Refactored Page Object classes by removing unnecessary waits and introducing explicit waits only where required by
specific UI conditions, improving test stability and execution efficiency
● Fixed JUnit test listener integration issue that prevented screenshots from being attached to Xray reports due to
missing test context propagation
● Performed regression analysis, identified potential product defects, created bug reports, and collaborated closely

with the development team on issue investigation and resolution
● Conducted technical interviews for new candidates
