Hi, I'm Ilia Dobkin, a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test with 20+ years of delivering automation and release confidence for audit/finance software and regulated web platforms (including real-money iGaming). I own end-to-end API test strategy using Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium, plus contract testing against Swagger/OpenAPI, and I integrate performance baselines into CI/CD for fast, reliable feedback. I’m known for stabilizing flaky test suites, tightening quality gates without slowing delivery, and reducing manual regression by about 50% through expanded coverage and parallel execution. I build and maintain large test suites (hundreds of Playwright E2E tests and API tests), validate compliance end-to-end, and advocate accessibility, audit-logging, and environment readiness across web and mobile releases.…Hi, I'm Ilia Dobkin, a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test with 20+ years of delivering automation and release confidence for audit/finance software and regulated web platforms (including real-money iGaming).
