I’m Evgenii Bazhanov, a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 15+ years of experience building scalable test automation frameworks and leading quality efforts across fintech, mobility, and SaaS environments. I’m especially passionate about end-to-end quality: from stable UI automation to reliable API and integration testing, with a strong focus on reducing flakiness and speeding up release cycles. I work deeply in TypeScript/JavaScript and Playwright (and also Cypress and other automation stacks), and I’ve helped teams modernize their CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and Jenkins. I also bring AI-driven testing into the workflow—using tools such as Claude and prompt techniques to generate edge cases and improve coverage—so products ship faster with confidence.…I’m Evgenii Bazhanov, a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 15+ years of experience building scalable test automation frameworks and leading quality efforts across fintech, mobility, and SaaS environments.
