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%.

Selected deliveries

Completed projects

TypeScript, Playwright, POM, GitLab CI

TypeScript API/UI Framework

Playwright + TypeScript E2E framework built from zero coverage, establishing POM structure, reusable fixtures, parallel workers, and full team coding standards with a GitLab CI pipeline.

Delivered structured handover with documentation; now a release-blocking quality gate.
