I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer with a Master’s degree in Software Engineering and 10+ years of experience delivering high-quality web and mobile applications through a balanced approach to manual and automated testing. I excel in collaborative, fast-paced environments, turning complex testing challenges into clear, actionable plans that improve product quality. I specialize in validating user workflows, geolocation, search, and filtering features, with expertise in test strategy, automation framework development, and CI/CD integration within Agile environments. I build, extend, and maintain UI automation frameworks using the Page Object Model across distributed teams, monitor automated regression results, identify and resolve flaky tests, and continuously improve coverage. I also conduct exploratory, accessibility, cross-browser, and mobile testing, investigate defects by analyzing logs, workflows, and configurations, mentor junior QA engineers, and deliver demos to engineering stakeholders.
