About Viktor

ToolchainPlaywright (TypeScript), Workato Genie, Slack API, Vertex AI, DataDog, OTEL, GitHub Actions, NX, Grafana, AWS, GCP, Dataplex, ADLS, Purview, Databricks

• Core member of a 5-person team that built the company-standard Playwright (TypeScript) UI automation framework, now adopted by 15+ teams across the engineering organization. Defined multi-layer test strategy (Unit, Integration, Component, API, UI) for all metadata integrations (AWS, GCP, Dataplex, ADLS, Purview, Databricks).
• Built and maintained a full-stack test results platform that replaced Grafana dashboards with visibility into pipeline stability, failing tests, root causes, flaky test tracking, and team SLA accountability. Tracks 50,000+ daily tests across FE PRs with a flaky rate below 0.8%.
• Led early adoption of AI within test engineering by developing LLM-powered skills for Playwright CLI integrated with GitHub, Jira, and Confluence for grounded PR context and test scaffolding.
• Built and evolved TAE Genie (internal Workato AI workflow system) with reusable skills for Jira, GitHub, Confluence, and DataDog, enabling grounded engineering assistance across 15+ teams.
• Productized the TAE Slack bot into an internal automation platform integrating Jira, GitHub, Vertex AI, DataDog, and OTEL — saving ~8 hours/week via self-serve AI-powered workflows.
• Owned the company-standard E2E GitHub Actions pipeline across 15+ teams with multi-browser/multi-shard support and NX-affected smart test filtering (reducing test execution time by ~30%).
• Primary quality engineering advisor across engineering teams, creator of SDET onboarding docs, co-author of the engineering quality newsletter, and driver of the Test Automation Community of Practice (CoP).

ToolchainPlaywright, Detox, TypeScript, JavaScript, k6, GitHub Actions

• Led test automation architecture for Mobile (Detox) and Desktop (Playwright/TypeScript) applications, implementing Page Object Model pattern and maintaining a shared Test API library.
• Established k6 performance testing benchmarks for micro-services; maintained and optimized CI/CD pipelines to reduce E2E execution times.
• Facilitated agile ceremonies (postmortems, root cause analysis, three amigos) and acted as the voice of quality across the team.

ToolchainJava, Cucumber, Swagger, REST API, GitLab CI/CD

• Owned the complete API automation platform — refactored BDD test codebase (Cucumber/Java), introduced a Swagger-based API client library, and established a daily CI/CD pipeline aligned to a zero bug policy.
• Collaborated with the product owner on prioritization and guided the full team on quality best practices.

ToolchainSelenium (C#), SpecFlow, k6, LoadImpact

• Improved automation platform using Selenium (C#) and SpecFlow; co-led full refactor of the performance testing platform using k6 and LoadImpact.
• Analyzed image processing configurations (GPU vs CPU, Windows vs Linux) for resource optimization in a Digital Asset Management system; mentored junior QA engineers.

ToolchainAndroid Studio, Java, UIAutomator, VoIP, MDM, Shell

• Initiated company’s first mobile automation effort using Android Studio (Java) and UIAutomator; performed VoIP quality and MDM platform testing.
• Drove transition from Waterfall to Agile Kanban; responsible for test planning, case creation, issue tracking, and coordinating testing activities.
