// summary

Lead QA engineer with 6+ years across fintech, WealthTech, banking, crypto, edtech, and AI products. I specialize in end-to-end Playwright frameworks, quality gates that hold up in CI/CD, and agentic workflow automation that removes manual QA friction. I've built reusable systems at eTeacher Group, owned multi-project test strategy at Lineate, validated complex financial calculations at StatusNeo, and mentored junior engineers into stronger delivery habits.

Outside of work

featured hobby

Custom mechanical keyboards

My biggest hobby used to be building and modding custom mechanical keyboards. It turned into a very fun but very expensive rabbit hole, both in money and in time, so I do not spend as much time on it lately, but I still love the craft and the design side of it.

Chess

Strategy, pattern recognition, and the kind of slow thinking I genuinely enjoy.

Board games

A good excuse for friendly competition, clever mechanics, and great company.

Table tennis

Fast, fun, and a nice balance to spending too many hours behind a screen.

Football

Casual games, team energy, and one of the easiest ways to reset after work.

Gaming

A mix of story-driven games, competitive sessions, and the occasional deep dive.

AI tinkering

Small personal experiments with agents, tools, and workflows that feel useful.
