About Bruce Izzatullaev

QA Automation Engineer / SDET with 5+ years designing, building, and scaling test automation frameworks across fintech, healthcare, and telecom. I specialize in Java-based automation (Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, TestNG, Cucumber BDD), API testing (REST Assured, Postman), and CI/CD pipeline integration (Jenkins, Git, Maven) in Agile/Scrum environments. What I bring to a team: At American Express, I led regression suite automation for business-critical web applications using Selenium-Java and Cucumber BDD, reaching 90% coverage of high-priority flows, cutting manual testing effort, and delivering a 30% reduction in regression cycle time through parallel execution on Selenium Grid. I also built out API test coverage to 85% using REST Assured and Postman, reducing test runtime by 30%. At CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, I architected a Page Object Model (POM) framework in Java/Selenium/JUnit that boosted code reusability by 40% and cut UI test runtime by 30%. I implemented data-driven testing with Apache POI, reducing post-release defects by 20%, and validated a Oracle database via JDBC to ensure transaction accuracy at scale. At Verizon, I built the team\'s initial Selenium WebDriver automation suite, established Git branching standards and code review workflows, and expanded API coverage to 85% with REST Assured — shortening integration test cycles by 2 days and reducing defect fix time by 25%.
