I'm Yavuz Gurbuz, a Senior QA Engineer with 7+ years of experience architecting automation frameworks that scale with high-impact products. I transformed manual testing into a high-frequency automated system, growing LastPass coverage from zero to 300+ daily automated test runs, tightening regression windows, and accelerating release cycles without compromising quality. I specialize in integrating security-focused testing into the SDLC, applying OWASP practices and zero-trust principles to validate authentication, authorization, and data protection. I thrive in Agile environments, bridging CI/CD optimization with proactive risk mitigation and I enjoy mentoring teammates to drive automation excellence across projects.…I'm Yavuz Gurbuz, a Senior QA Engineer with 7+ years of experience architecting automation frameworks that scale with high-impact products.
