Voldymyr Pozdniakov

Hello everyone. I’m an Automation Quality Assurance Engineer with over 7 years of experience in software testing. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, from mobile and TV applications to web services and microservices architectures. I’ve also held leadership roles, managing QA teams and mentoring new specialists, which has given me a unique perspective on both technical and collaborative aspects of the field. What I Bring to the Table: Hands-on Technical Expertise: I specialize in automation frameworks like Appium, Playwright, and Pytest, using languages such as Python and TypeScript. My work includes creating frameworks from scratch, optimizing existing ones, and integrating tools like Mountebank for mocking REST/SSH requests. I’ve tested across platforms—Android, iOS, Tizen, WebOS, and browsers—ensuring robust, cross-compatible solutions. Comprehensive Testing Knowledge: I cover a wide spectrum, from functional and API testing to performance and security (including blockchain and compliance like HIPAA/GDPR). I emphasize best practices like PageObject patterns, OOP principles, and efficient test management using tools like Zephyr Scale and Jira. Real-World Process Leadership: As a former Head of QA, I’ve refined testing strategies, improved team workflows, and bridged communication between stakeholders and developers. I’m well-versed in Agile (Scrum/Kanban) and understand how to adapt processes to project needs. Mentorship Focus: I’ve trained newcomers, conducted workshops, and spoken at QA community events. My goal is to help you navigate the complexities of QA, from writing your first test case to designing scalable automation frameworks. Whether it’s debugging with DevTools, scripting in Python, or understanding CI/CD pipelines, I’ll share practical insights to accelerate your growth.
