Professional Profile
QA Manager with 6+ years of experience building quality into enterprise web and mobile products. I lead QA across hospitality and travel platforms — from internal ops tools to member-facing apps and third-party integrations. Currently architecting an automation framework using Playwright and CI/CD. I use Claude AI daily to write tests, generate bug tickets, and research code — and I test AI-powered features built on Amazon Bedrock. I don't just catch bugs — I build systems that prevent them.
Based in Denver, Colorado, USA.

Working with Valeriia means shipping with confidence. She asks the right questions before a single line of code is written, catches issues we didn't know to look for, and communicates blockers clearly to the whole team. Her documentation standards and Jira workflows raised the bar for how we approach quality across the entire product

Valeriia is one of the most thorough QA professionals I've worked with. She doesn't just find bugs — she understands the system deeply enough to explain exactly why they happen. Her Playwright automation work significantly reduced our regression time, and her use of AI tools to accelerate testing is something I haven't seen elsewhere. An invaluable part of any engineering team
