BENCH+ PROFILE

Vladimir

QA Engineer
Automated testing and QA process setup for backend, web frontend, API, and distributed systems

Lead-level QA automation specialist with strong hands-on experience in automated functional testing, backend API testing, test strategy, QA process setup, and mentoring across complex web, backend, cybersecurity, fintech, and public-sector systems.

BEST-FIT USE CASE

Best suited for QA automation roles that combine hands-on test implementation with building test processes, improving test coverage, supporting regression suites, and mentoring QA engineers in product teams.

Not the primary fit: May require alignment when a fast prototype-oriented delivery mode prioritizes speed over detailed validation depth.

EVIDENCE HIGHLIGHTS

What supports the assessment

Implemented frontend functional automated tests using C#, NUnit, Playwright, and browser testing infrastructure.

Implemented backend functional automated tests using C#, NUnit, and REST API tooling.

Implemented automated tests using Python, Pytest, Playwright, and Docker for a cybersecurity-oriented system.

Created QA strategy, testing regulations, and foundations for manual testing, automated testing, and CI/CD quality processes.

Developed automated testing for JSON-RPC backends, web frontends, and a mobile application in cross-functional scrum teams.

Built backend automated tests for gRPC services using Kotlin and a Kotlin testing framework.

Used load and performance-oriented tools in QA contexts, including k6 and traffic generation tooling.

Supported regression testing and test case management across evolving product requirements.
