ABOUT ME
────────────────────────────────────────────
QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years of experience in backend systems and data-driven platforms. I don't just run tests — I build test architecture, improve system reliability, and speed up delivery.

Key focus: API automation (REST/gRPC), CI/CD integration, defect analysis, and working with microservices. I use logs and databases to find root causes, not just report bugs.

EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS

✅ Reduced CI pipeline duration by 3x (90 → 30 min) by fixing flaky tests, timeouts, and improving runner config

✅ Reduced load testing setup time by 5x with a custom Pytest framework
