Moved to web development from game dev QA.
In current time I write backend in Mindsoft in python (FastApi, Typer).
In my free time I expand my knowledge of Computer Science, participate in Open source, and learn new Golang language.
I like to write tests and clean code.

Test Analyst | Playrix

In addition to manual testing, I was engaged in automating game mechanics in Python

  • Implemented an autotest log analysis system, which led to an 80% increase in the number of errors detected by autotests and reduced the time to find and fix them
  • Automated the processes of working with tasks in Asana, reducing the time spent on their processing. This saved up to 10% of the workday
  • Improved the autotest development process by implementing typing and using docstring, which improved the quality of the code base and accelerated the adaptation of other employees
  • Developed and maintained more than 50 UI autotests to test basic events, tutorials and match-3 in-game, using Python
  • Provided coverage of about 10% of the functional requirements on the project checklists with the help of developed autotests
