Qa Engineer

Natural born QA detective. I see where others don't.
7+ years of experience in automated and manual software testing. Worked in the fields of cryptocurrency, computer vision, e-commerce, digital forensics and information security. While others merely sell their time for cash, I foster the industry using:

- Automation & Tools: Selenium (Python), pytest, TestRail, Allure, GitLab CI, Postman, Swagger, SoapUI
- Languages & DBs: Python, SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL
- Platforms & DevOps: Kubernetes, Docker, ArgoCD, Kafka, ElasticSearch
- Processes: Agile/Scrum, test design, regression testing, E2E and API testing, test reporting (JIRA, Confluence)

I'll tell you what you don't know about your software and you will like it.
