I started my career as a Manual Test Engineer. I have passed from Junior to a Test Lead position a long way. Have 7+ years of experience managing test teams of up to 5 members for projects of different complexity. From 2012 till 2018 have entirely concentrated on SDET role (mostly web direction). I have developed several Selenium-driven frameworks with successful usage experience on big projects.
Several years ago, I switched to BE Development to understand internal development processes better. Six months later, my proactiveness led me to a Tech Lead position promotion.
I perform internal SDET training, continuously improve skills in Java / TS / C++ / Python and the latest test automation trends, and consult/mentor SDETs within local/customer teams. Conference speaker.
I actively participate in company pre-sales and project audits. Has recently been promoted to EMO Lead position.
Strong experience in testing large-scale, highly available, private B2C / B2B applications, including online shopping/trading platforms, jobs/health & care websites, cloud payment solutions, financial and secret government applications, voice assistants/chatbots, robotics projects, etc.
Strong knowledge of software testing fundamentals, testing throughout the software life cycle, test design techniques, test management, tool support for testing, and best development practices.
