Senior QA Engineer (Quality Platform Architecture, CI/CD Validation Systems, Automation Infrastructure) | Remote

Designing validation architecture and delivery reliability systems supporting large-scale digital platforms.

Key contributions

• Designed validation systems that let teams test safely against controlled dependencies, seeded data, and service boundaries instead of unstable external services.
• Integrated CI/CD validation into Jenkins and Bamboo with quality gates and release-readiness checks built directly into delivery workflows.
• Built deterministic execution patterns through isolated environments and parallel-safe validation flows that reduce ordering dependencies.
• Standardised distributed execution across machines and environments with consistent configuration, secure access, and scalable orchestration.
• Introduced delivery intelligence through dashboards, Slack reporting, and AI-assisted workflows for impact analysis, validation coverage guidance, failure investigation, and anomaly detection.

Focus areas

Senior QA | Remote

Reshaped validation around pull-request feedback, controlled environments, and maintainable execution architecture across web, API, and mobile.

Key contributions

• Re-architected the web and API validation stack around Cypress, Docker Compose, and Azure Pipelines for repeatable execution and easier ownership.
• Introduced PR-level environments with seeded accounts and controlled data, moving validation earlier and reducing shared-environment dependency.
• Extended mobile and browser coverage through BrowserStack while improving the reliability of the wider validation platform.

Focus areas

Senior QA | London

Improved release confidence through audit-led quality architecture, CI governance, and validation practices aligned with trunk-based delivery.

Key contributions

• Led quality audit work that translated into engineering actions, clearer prioritisation, and lower production risk.
• Integrated Percy and DangerJS into CI to add visual regression and pull-request governance without adding delivery overhead.
• Built accessibility reporting and stronger validation guardrails so quality signals became more actionable for engineering and product teams.

Focus areas

Staff QA / Staff Test Engineer | Remote

Supported high-velocity delivery for a high-traffic event platform by strengthening earlier validation, rollout confidence, and framework stability.

Key contributions

• Introduced earlier-stage system validation in the Rails monolith so teams could test before deployment and reduce late-stage delivery risk.
• Supported rollout validation and release confidence in event-scale conditions where framework reliability directly affected delivery decisions.
• Helped teams become more self-sufficient in selecting the right validation layers, reinforcing shift-left engineering over centralised gatekeeping.

Focus areas

Senior QA | London

Built integration validation architecture for API-heavy open-banking systems where dependency isolation and fast CI feedback were critical.

Key contributions

• Implemented a Java-based integration framework with Rest-Assured, Serenity, and Selenium for controlled validation of backend and user-facing flows.
• Added Postman and Newman validations to CI to create faster API feedback while broader integration layers evolved.
• Introduced Hoverfly-based mocks to reduce dependency on live consent flows and make service validation controllable.

Focus areas

Lead QA | London

Owned platform and backend quality strategy, focusing on validation architecture, CI/CD refinement, and engineering alignment across distributed teams.

Key contributions

• Defined quality strategy across backend and platform teams, aligning validation work with delivery reliability rather than isolated test activity.
• Improved execution speed without compromising coverage and strengthened coordination between London and Moldova teams around engineering quality ownership.
• Mentored engineers on contract, component, and integration validation while improving release alignment and operational readiness.

Focus areas

Senior SDET | London

Built validation foundations for a fast-moving product environment where trunk-based development required fast feedback and dependable CI execution.

Key contributions

• Created validation frameworks from scratch for GraphQL, REST APIs, and web flows, expanding coverage across service and interface layers.
• Integrated Docker-backed validation into CI pipelines so feedback arrived earlier in the delivery flow and scaled more easily.
• Supported continuous delivery with quality gates that increased release confidence without slowing development cadence.

Focus areas

Senior QA | London

Built early validation foundations across web and backend systems, helping teams move from fragmented testing to structured automation and API validation.

Key contributions

• Created automation and API validation frameworks across multiple stacks, improving the reach and maintainability of engineering feedback.
• Integrated accessibility, security, and exploratory concerns into engineering workflows rather than leaving them as isolated QA activities.
• Established repeatable quality foundations that later expanded into broader delivery and platform architecture work.
