Yuriy Safronnynov
Automation QA Engineer | SDET | QA Architect
Senior Automation QA Engineer and SDET with 8+ years specializing in architecting and building test automation systems from the ground up. Built three production frameworks from scratch - a 4,000+ test Robot Framework API suite, a Python + Selenium UI framework, and a Playwright + TypeScript E2E framework. Reduced critical production defects by 73%, increased automated test coverage by 62%, and cut manual QA effort by 79%.
Strength in practice
Strong sides
Framework Architecture
Built 3 production automation frameworks from scratch - TypeScript + Playwright E2E, Robot Framework API (4,000+ tests), Python + Selenium UI, Python + PyTest API, and Cucumber BDD - each integrated into CI/CD as a quality gate.
AI-Driven Quality
Integrates OpenAI and Anthropic APIs into QA workflows for LLM-based test generation, anomaly detection on large document corpora, and automated file comparison pipelines.
Shift-Left Leadership
Drives quality from sprint zero through architecture reviews, full test strategy definition, and mentoring QA engineers across concurrent projects. Reduced critical production defects by 73%.
