As a key figure in our team, I ensured that we consistently adopt and implement the best automation practices. My main responsibilities were:Leading Best Practices: Advocating and enforcing optimal methodologies to ensure the highest quality in our automation projects.Process Enhancement: Continuously refining our automation processes, driving efficiency and effectiveness throughout the team.Framework Stability: Prioritizing and spearheading improvements in our automation framework, ensuring robust and reliable results✦ Created a JS script using the Cypress Module API to rerun failed tests as a separate step in the pipeline✦ Implemented Jenkins pipeline steps for reruning failed tests✦ Established a code convention rules for the Cypress framework for the entire team, implementing thePage Object Pattern✦ Created a JS script and Bitbucket Pipeline step to run only newly added tests on the Pull Requests byfinding the difference between the current and master branch✦ Fixed blocker issue regarding 'stuck' spec files during parallel execution on Cypress Cloud

I was part of a dedicated automation team in Fintech project. Started as Middle Automation Engineer, I was promoted to Senior Automation Engineer in August 2019 based on multiple improvements for the project. In June 2022, I was promoted to Automation Team Lead, where I managed a team of 5 AT engineers✦ Spearheaded a full refactoring of the automation framework, reducing full regression run time from 16 hours to 6 hours. Established standardized convention rules for framework creation and management, streamlining team operations. ✦ Reduced failure rates from 30-35% to 2-3%.✦ Designed and deployed RerunService, a web API solution integrated into the automation team's pipeline. The system intelligently reruns tests based on error types; if the same error recurs beyond a set threshold, the system stops rerunning that specific test and notifies the team via email.✦ Developed a performance testing tool from scratch using integration with JMeter, InfluxDB, and Grafana. This setup enables real-time tracking of release candidate results and identification of downgraded endpoints by comparing data from the benchmark and the two latest releases.✦ Provided critical feedback on release candidate, assessing factors such as functionality, scalability, and performance to ensure the team delivered high-quality solution.✦ Acted as a mentor for Automation Team, guiding their professional development and technical skill sets.

In addition to my role as Automation Team Lead, I was offered the opportunity to act as an L2 Support Engineer in the same project multiple days a week. This allowed me to further grow my development skills while aiding stakeholders and users in solving critical production issues. The experience enriched my technical skill set and contributed to my ability to understand and resolve system challenges from multiple perspectives.✦ Resolved production issues as they arise✦ Provided detailed explanations on requested topics to customers✦ Implemented technical enhancements to improve the systemTechnologies: (ASP.NET MVC/WebAPI/WebForms), MS SQL Server, Rabbit MQ, Azure Service Fabric, SEQ, Telerik Reporting

During that time I contributed to multiple projects, primarily focusing on developing automation frameworks from scratch using various tools and languages. I was also responsible for creating automation pipelines, leveraging Jenkins and TeamCity to ensure seamless integration. Utilizing various tools and programming languages, I was instrumental in laying the foundation for scalable and efficient automated testing solutions.✦ Build a proof-of-concept test framework with an enhanced reporting system from scratch✦ Set up continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines✦ Provided extensive and robust tests
