Available to hire
I am Andrei Shatunov, a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks across Playwright, Cypress, Nightwatch, Selenium, Jest, and React Testing Library. I specialize in UI and API testing and have integrated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Bitbucket, Octopus), driving release cycle improvements and significant defect reductions.
I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams across multi-state deployments, building from-scratch automation for new applications, migrating legacy tests to modern frameworks, and implementing robust data validation and automated documentation checks to ensure quality and regulatory compliance.
