Available to hire
Hi, I’m Alex Dzhoharidze, a QA Automation Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience building robust automation frameworks and performance tests for web, API, and mobile applications. I earned my BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science at age 16, and since then I’ve helped teams ship reliable software with confidence by turning testing into an automation-driven process.
I thrive where technology, leadership, and reliability intersect—onboarding teams, scaling automation, and turning complex testing into business acceleration. I enjoy tackling challenging testing problems, designing resilient architectures in Python, Java, and C#, and driving measurable improvements in release quality and speed.
