About

Senior QA Engineer | Mobile, API & Backend Testing | AI-Assisted QA I am a QA Engineer with 5+ years of experience testing web, mobile, API, and backend products. I work with iOS and Android applications, payment and billing flows, public procurement platforms, third-party integrations, and production incidents. I help teams release reliable products by finding issues in business logic, user flows, APIs, integrations, and edge cases before they affect customers. I also take part in requirements analysis and preparation, clarifying acceptance criteria, business rules, testability, and user scenarios. What I can help with: • Manual testing: functional, regression, integration, smoke, exploratory, and post-release testing • Mobile testing: iOS and Android on real devices and Android emulators • API and backend testing: REST API, Postman, curl, Swagger, DevTools, SQL, and ClickHouse • Payment and billing testing: bank payments, statuses, fees, calculations, failures, and retries • Log analysis and incident investigation using Sentry and Debugbar • Integration testing with Kafka and Redis, including asynchronous flows and error handling • Test documentation: test cases, checklists, bug reports, regression suites, and release readiness criteria • Requirements analysis, UI/UX review, and release support I have also coordinated QA work, distributed tasks, reviewed QA artefacts, and mentored 4 QA specialists, including 2 interns. Tools: Jira, Confluence, Postman, Swagger, SQL, ClickHouse, Sentry, Debugbar, Kafka, Redis, Android emulators, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and Cursor. I use AI tools to speed up requirements analysis, generate test ideas, identify edge cases, prepare documentation, and support basic scripting tasks. I always validate the output against the product context and business rules. Available for manual QA audits, mobile and API testing, requirements review, release support, and long-term QA ownership.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote Senior Manual QA Engineer or Mobile QA Engineer role in an international product team. My focus is on web, mobile, API, and backend testing. I am interested in working on complex products where I can contribute to product quality, requirements analysis, release processes, and user experience, while continuing to grow in test automation.
