Driving Quality
and Efficiency
in Software Development
Senior SDET & AQA Lead with 8+ years building test automation, CI/CD and performance solutions for web & mobile products. I help engineering teams ship web & mobile products faster and safer through solid test automation and quality strategy.
About
I am a Senior SDET & AQA Lead focused on building reliable, maintainable test automation and quality processes for web & mobile products. Over the last 8+ years, I have worked as a hands-on engineer and a lead, combining deep technical work (frameworks, CI/CD, performance) with mentoring and quality strategy for multiple teams.
My goal is to make releases predictable and safe: move critical checks into automation, integrate them into CI/CD, and align quality work with real business priorities instead of 'test coverage for its own sake'.
What I Do as a Senior SDET / AQA Lead
- Design and evolve test automation architecture for web & mobile (UI, API, integration) using TypeScript/Node.js
- Build and maintain automation frameworks with Playwright, WebdriverIO, Appium, Detox and Flutter integration tests
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD (GitLab, GitLab CI, Bitrise, AWS) to catch issues before production and make releases predictable
- Define quality strategy and metrics together with engineering and product, focusing on business-critical user flows
- Mentor QA/SDET engineers, set coding standards, code review practices and testing guidelines across teams
- Collaborate with developers and DevOps on performance, reliability and observability improvements
Core Stack
TypeScript / Node.js, Playwright, WebdriverIO, Appium, Detox, Flutter integration tests, REST APIs, CI/CD (GitLab, GitLab CI, Bitrise, AWS), Docker, Linux.
Also worked with: Cypress, Java/Selenide, performance and monitoring tools.

Enterprise E2E Automation Framework
Built enterprise test automation platform from scratch serving 20+ teams and 100+ engineers. Reduced regression cycle 90% (3 weeks → 3 days) saving $180k/year. Eliminated 80% of integration tests through contract testing while achieving 95% coverage.
The Challenge
The organization faced a critical challenge: multiple applications built with different technology stacks (React, Angular, Vue) had no unified testing approach. Each team maintained their own testing solutions, leading to inconsistent quality gates, duplicated efforts, and a 3-week regression cycle that was blocking rapid delivery.
The Solution
Architected a modular framework with TypeScript + Playwright as the core, supporting multiple test runners
Impact Analysis
Quantifiable results achieved post-implementation

For Hiring Managers
If you are looking for someone who can go beyond "writing tests" and take ownership of test automation, quality strategy and CI/CD integration, this is where I can help.
I work best in environments where:
- Quality is treated as a shared responsibility, not just a QA task
- There is room to improve automation architecture and processes, not only "add more tests"
- Teams are ready to collaborate on making releases faster and safer at the same time
