01 — SUMMARY

More than 10 years building software quality: I started in QA Automation and SDET work, grew into a testing architect, and since July 2024 have added DevOps engineering to that base. I design end-to-end strategies (discovery, automation, observability, performance) for web, mobile and point-of-sale platforms, frequently in regulated contexts where a defect costs real money: banking, insurance, capital markets.

I build custom automation frameworks on Selenium, Appium, Cypress or Robot Framework, then wire them into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins so every release validates itself. Test infrastructure is code to me (reproducible environments with Terraform alongside Ansible, on AWS or on-premise servers), orchestrated with Docker, scaled on Kubernetes. Monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK spots degradation before users do; load testing with JMeter, Locust, K6 anticipates it.

That method is proven across 8 sectors (from banking to retail, insurance to digital identity) with results you can audit achievement by achievement on this very site: 45 % less test execution time with 85 % automated coverage, 70 % less environment setup time through Testing as Code, above 95 % stability in the mobile framework, 40 % faster defect detection through monitoring. One idea drives me: quality should stop being an opinion and become data, data that scales with the business, lowers operational risk, enables decisions.
