Experience
QA Automation Engineer

Maintained and expanded a Python test automation framework (Pytest, Playwright, Allure) with a suite of 500+ automated tests (UI E2E and API); personally contributed ~150–200 tests. Designed and executed smoke and regression suites in CI/CD (GitHub Actions): smoke on every PR (~10 min, parallel workers) and full nightly regression on staging (~1.5–2 hours). Implemented Page Object Model patterns, reusable fixtures, and stable selectors to improve maintainability and reduce flaky tests. Analyzed test failures using Allure reports, traces/logs, and monitoring tools (Kibana, Graylog, OpenSearch, Grafana) to support debugging and root cause analysis. Validated requirements for testability and automation coverage; collaborated with developers to investigate defects and verify fixes via automated regression. Used SQL to prepare and validate test data, ensuring data consistency across systems. Documented test cases and checklists with a focus on automation coverage; tracked defects and confirmed resolution through CI test runs.
