Software Engineer.
Software Engineer in Test with 10 years of experience building automation frameworks, tools, and quality systems. Occasionally breaking things on purpose to make them better.
About
I'm a Software Engineer in Test originally from Odesa, Ukraine, now based in Los Angeles, CA. My focus has always been on building quality into software from the ground up - through strong engineering practices, automation, and thoughtful system design.
Over the years, I've designed and maintained test automation frameworks, libraries, and services, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines as reliable quality gates. I work hands-on with C#, Java, and JS/TS, and I'm equally comfortable thinking like a tester and like a developer.
Lately, I've been expanding beyond SDET work into full-stack development, building web applications end-to-end and deepening my understanding of frontend, backend, and system architecture.
Outside of tech, I'm drawn to movement and challenge: mountains, snowboarding, hiking, dirt jumping, cool cars and drifting. Whatever makes for a fun and interesting experience.
What I do
Test architecture across the full pyramid - back-end, front-end, mobile, data flows - paired with hands-on full-stack delivery.
01 / Test architecture & strategy
Test strategy across the full pyramid - unit, integration, contract, E2E. Framework and library design for back-end, web, and mobile. Right-sizing each layer so no slice is over- or under-tested.
02 / Back-end & data flows
Unit and integration coverage across microservices and REST APIs. Event-flow validation through Kafka and RabbitMQ, with assertions across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis - source-to-target and cross-service consistency.
03 / E2E, performance & load
Browser and mobile automation in Playwright, Selenium, Appium. Load and reliability scenarios in NBomber, K6, JMeter. Wired into CI/CD as quality gates, used where they earn their keep.
04 / Full-stack delivery
Hands-on full-stack work in Next.js, TypeScript, and .NET. I ship the systems I test - so the strategy stays informed by what actually breaks in production code.
