I specialize in UI and API automation, with hands-on experience using Codeception (PHP) and Selenium WebDriver. I also work extensively with manual testing, regression, exploratory testing, UAT support, and backend/data validation using SQL. I have strong experience validating distributed, microservice, and event-driven systems, including Kafka and RabbitMQ-based workflows. I focus on ensuring data integrity, service communication reliability, and stable releases through structured QA practices. My background also includes working closely with Agile Scrum teams, contributing to sprint planning, test strategy definition, defect lifecycle management, and release readiness. I value clear communication, collaboration, and ownership in cross-functional environments. Before focusing fully on QA, I worked as a Business Analyst, which strengthened my requirement analysis, stakeholder communication, and user-focused problem-solving skills. This helps me bridge the gap between business needs and technical implementation. I am comfortable working with modern QA and delivery toolchains, including Postman, Jira, Confluence, TestRail, Zephyr, Git, GitHub, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions. I am open to roles where I can continue improving product quality, automation coverage, and release confidence. ## Skills 18 capabilities[Agile Scrum](https://jobicy.com/talent/agile-scrum.md)[API Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/api-testing.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Data Validation](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-validation.md)[End To End Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/end-to-end-testing.md)[Exploratory testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/exploratory-testing.md)[Kafka](https://jobicy.com/talent/kafka.md)[Manual Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/manual-testing.md)[Microservices Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/microservices-testing.md)[RabbitMQ](https://jobicy.com/talent/rabbitmq.md)[Regression Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/regression-testing.md)[Root Cause Analysis](https://jobicy.com/talent/root-cause-analysis.md)[SDLC](https://jobicy.com/talent/sdlc.md)[SQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/sql.md)[Stakeholder Management](https://jobicy.com/talent/stakeholder-management.md)[Test Automation](https://jobicy.com/talent/test-automation.md)[UAT](https://jobicy.com/talent/uat.md)[UI Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/ui-testing.md) ## Tech stack & tools Working toolkit ### Application Hosting [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/putty/putty-original.svg) PuTTY](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=putty.md) ### Application Utilities [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/postman/postman-original.svg) Postman](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=postman.md) ### Collaboration [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/confluence/confluence-original.svg) Confluence](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=confluence.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/jira/jira-original.svg) Jira](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=jira.md) ### Development [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/git/git-original.svg) Git](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=git.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/github/github-original.svg) GitHub](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=github.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/kibana/kibana-original.svg) Kibana](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=kibana.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/phpstorm/phpstorm-original.svg) PhpStorm](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=phpstorm.md) ### Languages & Frameworks [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/php/php-original.svg) PHP](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=php.md) ## Experience Career history ### Software Tester Engineer - Marketplace/Finance · eMAG Jan 2020 – Jan 2026I improved test coverage and release stability for eMAG Marketplace by designing scalable test strategies for critical end-to-end and microservice workflows.
