About Andrei Shatunov

Staff QA Automation Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, Nightwatch, Selenium, Jest, React Testing Library) and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Bitbucket, Octopus). Specialized in UI and API testing. Proven track record of cutting release cycle times by 70%. Developed 200+ end-to-end tests and configured parallel execution, reducing full regression suite runtime from several hours to 30–40 minutes. Achieved 95% regression coverage and reduced manual operational testing by nearly 100%. Proficient in DB testing (MongoDB, MySQL) and API testing (Postman) CI/CD Optimizaton: Integrated automated tests into Jenkins pipelines, reducing release cycles by up to 70% Framework Migra􀆟on: Led Nightwatch → Playwright migration, improving stability by 80–90% and cutting flaky tests by 70% API Validation: Automated API testing (Postman, RestAssured) reducing production defects Parallel Execution: Implemented parallelized regression suites cutting execution 􀆟me from 5–6 hours to under 60 minutes

   Built CSP automation platform from scratch for 4 core insurance applications with Cypress (20+ states coverage) implemented scalable Page Object Model with dynamic element recognition engine. Increased regression coverage to 90%+, reduced production defects in policy workflows, and enabled faster multi-state releases.• Reduced regression execution time from 4–5 hours to 30–60 minutes by implementing parallelization and framework refactoring in Cypress, Playwright, accelerating release cycles and improving CI stability.• Integrated automation tests to CI/CD pipeline using Bitbucket, Jenkins and Octopus which allowed 90% of bugs even before deployment.• Migrated the entire regression suite for the main company applications from Nightwatch to Playwright, which increased stability by 70% and reduced flaky failures by 80%• Designed and executed automated and manual API tests using Postman, increasing API defect detection by ~30% and reducing regression time by ~25%.• Conducted peer reviews of QA automation code, improving framework consistency, reducing flaky tests by ~20%, and increasing overall code maintainability.• Engineered automated PDF validation system golden copies) built JavaScript-based document comparison engine to validate dynamically generated insurance documents, eliminating manual document review and ensuring regulatory compliance across all operating states. Reduced document validation time from several hours to 10–15 minutes through automated comparison workflows.• Developed frontend unit test architecture using React Testing Library, Jest and Snapshot testing — increased component test coverage from ~35% to 80%+, reducing UI-related production defects by ~30% and decreasing post-release hotfix frequency.test strategies, preventing requirement gaps and reducing late-stage defect leakage into production.• Led technical knowledge transfer and mentored junior QA engineers
