About

QA Engineer with 6+ years of commercial experience in web, mobile, API, and integration testing. Strong technical background: SQL, Kafka, REST/SOAP, logs, CI/CD, and Kotlin automation.

I use AI agents and LLMs for codebase exploration, defect investigation, and test refactoring. Practical mindset: understanding the system end-to-end, isolating root causes quickly, and automating where it delivers measurable feedback speed.

Selected Engineering Cases

CASE 01 Engineering

Android Regression Optimization

Problem

Full Android regression execution took 3–4 hours.

What was done

Refactored automated tests, improved test-data preparation, adapted scenarios for SDK changes, and replaced external transitions with Deep Links, Intent interception, and controlled test states.

Result

Regression execution time was reduced to 50–90 minutes.

CASE 02 Engineering

Web Automation Coverage

Problem

Web regression automation coverage was 80%.

What was done

Expanded and updated the automated regression test suite, covered missing key user flows, and prepared the test suite for handoff to the responsible team.

Result

Coverage increased to 95% within 2–3 months.

CASE 03 Engineering

AI-assisted Test Refactoring

Problem

Typical repetitive test-code changes took up to 2 hours.

What was done

Used AI agents with reusable instructions for codebase analysis and repetitive refactoring tasks.

Result

Typical execution time was reduced to 30 minutes.
