About
Quality engineering grounded in practical experience
I combine hands-on test automation with test planning and team leadership. I help teams establish useful test coverage, understand product risks, and keep testing aligned with delivery priorities.
My QA career began in 2021 with C# automation for web and mobile applications. At Luxoft, my work moved into automotive software with Python and Squish, test environment integration, and quality reporting.
