Cyberhaven
Brasov, Romania

This involved creating frameworks and tests that ensured smooth interactions between the desktop sensors and the various web and desktop applications that our product tracks.
- In just over a year, I developed and integrated over 600 end-to-end tests and thousands of API tests into our CI system, which were able to identify most major bugs early in the development cycle.
- Our tech stack included Python, Pytest, Golang, Playwright, Pywinauto, Pyautogui, Allure, GitHub Actions, GCP, Locust, Hyperfine, and Kubernetes. As part of my role, I collaborated closely with other QA engineers to identify and replicate bugs and defects, which were then corrected in subsequent iterations.
