Quality Engineering leader with 7+ years turning fragile manual processes into resilient, automated quality gates — bridging development and QA through scalable test architecture and CI/CD.

I'm a QA Team Lead and Senior SDET who designs test automation frameworks and embeds them into robust CI/CD pipelines. With a path from behavioral science → full-stack .NET → quality engineering, I bring analytical rigor to user-behavior validation, root-cause analysis, and team leadership. I have designed, developed, and tested (manual and automated) order management systems for forex and securities exchange markets, and core trading engines.

🎯 Career goal: Drive quality engineering excellence, grow toward a CTO role. 🌍 Open to relocation: Europe (Germany / Netherlands), US, Australia, New Zealand.

• 🏗️ Test Automation Architecture — Scalable UI/API/E2E frameworks with Playwright, Selenium, Pytest, NUnit, and BDD/Cucumber workflows.
• 🔄 CI/CD & DevOps — Test execution in Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• 💻 Software Engineering — Clean, maintainable test code (C#, Python, TypeScript, Go) following SOLID, OOP, and Clean Code.
• 📈 Markets — Design, development, and manual and automated testing of order management systems for forex and securities exchanges, and of core trading engines: order lifecycle, execution constraints, balances, and the failure modes that matter when money is in motion.
• 🗄️ Data Validation — Complex database validation across SQL Server (T-SQL) and Oracle (PL/SQL).
• 🤖 AI in QA — AI-assisted defect triage and log analysis to accelerate investigation.
• 👥 Leadership & Mentorship — Agile testing strategy, team mentoring, and release-readiness ownership.

• ⚡ Reduced manual regression effort by ≈ 65% in two months via automation, prioritization, and CI/CD integration.
• 🚀 Improved engineering delivery speed by ≈ 30% through workflow and process enhancements (as Sr. Developer).
• 🎓 ISTQB Foundation Level (CTFL) certified.

ForexGuard QA Orchestrator Public illustration of a forex QA control center: a C# / ASP.NET Core orchestrator driving Playwright (TypeScript), Appium (Python), and k6 suites, with Grafana telemetry for throughput and SLA checks.
