AQA Engineer

Victor Sernyaev

I am Victor. I care about quality and automation: I design test strategy, build backends for API checks, and ship documentation people actually use. At work that means GraphQL and pytest, Allure and DevTools, and pushing tests left so bugs land in CI instead of production. I also write about QA and tech on Telegram.
