I'm Indira Dossimova, an SDET with 8 years of experience delivering reliable software quality across healthcare, banking, and insurance domains. I design and build scalable automation frameworks from scratch, spanning UI, API, mobile, and database layers using Java, JavaScript, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, REST Assured, Postman, SQL, PostgreSQL, and more. I enjoy turning complex requirements into robust test strategies and practical automation that accelerates release cycles. In cross-functional Agile teams, I own test planning, automate critical end-to-end workflows such as Auto Insurance Quoting and Policy Management, perform OpenAPI contract testing, and mentor teammates on automation best practices and debugging. I also advocate accessibility and performance testing, contribute to CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and leverage AI-assisted testing to boost coverage and quality.
