Experience

  • Design and build a multi-agent AI orchestration platform automating the full test lifecycle — Jira requirements analysis, test-case generation in X-Ray, C# Playwright code generation, browser execution, and trace-based failure analysis
  • Own and maintain a large-scale C# Playwright UI test automation suite (NUnit, ~850 tests, 67 page objects) covering trading alerts, customer management, templates, and betting widgets
  • Architect a Roslyn IIncrementalGenerator that auto-generates page objects from JSON locator files — eliminating ~95% of manual boilerplate and enforcing structural consistency at compile time
  • Develop and extend a .NET 9 Minimal API test-infrastructure service integrating 10+ backend microservices via railway-oriented programming, Polly retry policies, and typed HttpClient factories
  • Design black-box E2E test architecture for .NET microservices — typed Kafka producers/consumers, Mountebank imposters, K8s+Tilt infrastructure, and a multi-agent orchestration pipeline that automates architecture planning, scenario generation, and phased test implementation
  • Build a cross-platform CLI tool for X-Ray Cloud test management — authentication, JQL-based search, batch operations, and auto-update — adopted as standard tooling across the QA team
  • Design and develop a CI reporting application (React + C# + MongoDB) aggregating Jenkins build data and visualizing test results, health metrics, and trends across the division
  • Developed UI and API test automation solutions using C# and Selenium, building foundational automation skills in a consulting environment with client-facing delivery
  • Tested internal banking software processing credit applications for two of Bulgaria's largest international banks — end-to-end functional, regression, and exploratory testing
  • Designed and maintained manual test suites; coordinated defect triage across client, vendor, and third-party development teams
  • Served as primary QA contact between business analysts, developers, and project managers — ensuring requirement clarity and sign-off quality
