Owned quality engineering strategy and delivery for parallel EVM/Ethereum and Solana DeFi platforms spanning smart contracts, backend services, APIs, web frontends, and mobile applications.

Architected a unified Dockerized CI automation framework using Playwright for end-to-end web journeys and Jest for API and backend validation. Automated wallet-integrated on-chain transaction flows, introduced Foundry-based Solidity contract edge-case validation, and reconciled on-chain state with backend APIs.

Implemented MCP-connected multi-model AI workflows for Jira- and Figma-driven test generation, flaky-test detection, and CI failure triage. Established quality gates, release sign-off criteria, quality OKRs, and risk processes that reduced regressions by 40%.

Directed quality engineering for mission-critical Web3 products, including 0explain and VDAO, maintaining enterprise-grade stability expectations.

Designed and maintained frontend, backend, and API automation using Cypress, Jest, and Grafana k6. Validated API behavior and smart contract interactions independently of the user interface.

Moved quality planning earlier into product design and reported quality metrics and release risks to stakeholders to improve release-cycle decisions.

Led test automation architecture initiatives for enterprise retail and logistics platforms using Java, Selenium, and RestAssured.

Partnered with DevOps engineers and solution architects to make automation suites compatible with CI/CD environments. Advised project management on release readiness and regression risk in support of delivery milestones.

Built the QA function from the ground up and developed it into a team of five engineers.

Delivered client-facing automation frameworks for custom fintech and defense software. Established performance benchmarks, automation strategy, and test processes across delivery pipelines.

Led cross-platform automation development using C#, SpecFlow, Selenium, and Appium for engagements in Sofia and London.

Acted as QA lead, defining test architecture, sprint quality plans, and stakeholder reporting. Built reusable test libraries that reduced new-project onboarding time by 50% and mentored junior automation engineers.

Delivered comprehensive automated test coverage for lending systems using Java, Selenium, and Appium.

Supported automated validation across application workflows and mobile testing requirements.

Worked with a UK-based foreign exchange company throughout the product development lifecycle in an Agile environment.

Built automation and performance test coverage using Java, RestAssured, JMeter, and Docker.

Developed and maintained test plans and automated tests for a German market research platform using C#, Selenium, and SpecFlow.

Provided ongoing quality feedback throughout the software development lifecycle.
