Artem Galushko

Senior QA Automation Engineer

SUMMARY AG-00 · OPERATOR BRIEF SOURCE: SELF-REPORTED

Senior QA Automation Engineer with 5+ years in fintech, owning backend quality for distributed microservices and event-driven platforms. At Hytech I build AI-assisted QA tooling: a BPMN-based test generator with its own runner and reporting, a Claude Code automation harness, API validation tools that run a full schema check in ~30 seconds, and benchmark load tests. Previously led QA for a copy-trading platform: cut regression runtime by 87%, validated Kafka workflows at up to 2,000 RPS, and rolled out shift-left and Pact contract testing. Comfortable leading QA strategy, mentoring engineers, and partnering with product and engineering teams to ship reliably.

FIG. 1 — ACQUISITION TIMELINE, 2015 → NOW 1 DIV = 1 YEAR

Fig. 1 — Employment signal across four lanes. EDU and CH3 overlap 2020–2021: the operator ran both concurrently. No gaps between channels since acquisition began.

FIG. 2 — REGRESSION WALL TIME · CH2 → CH1 UNIT: MIN · LOG SCALE

Fig. 2 — Regression runtime on the CH2 platform after moving system tests into service repositories and introducing component tests — relocated, not deleted. The last step is CH1: a generated schema suite checks a service's API in ~30 seconds.

FIG. 3 — TEST AUTHORING TIME · CH1 UNIT: MIN · LOG SCALE

Fig. 3 — Time to produce an automated API test suite for one service, log scale. Spec-driven generation cuts authoring from a week to about a minute, and the generated schema checks run in ~30 seconds.
