Python software engineer

I have been programming since 2019.
For the last three years I have been working as a QA Engineer at Playrix, starting at junior level and reaching middle+. One of my main areas of responsibility was automating gameplay testing, where my knowledge of Python came in handy.
As a result, I improved my skills not only in Python, but also in code review and refactoring, working with git in a team, and gained a little experience in mentoring.
At the moment I am actively learning FastAPI and am always ready for new challenges and tasks.

Job Experience

Test Analyst | Playrix

06/2020 - 04/2023

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.
