Payments, KYC & Integrations | API Testing | AI-Assisted Automation Greater Boston · LinkedIn ·
QA engineer with a background in technical support, release management and, most recently, QA for a B2B iGaming platform. I test regulated flows where defects have financial and compliance consequences: identity verification (KYC), payments, and third-party provider integrations.
I'm strongest at API testing, test design for failure paths and edge cases, and cross-team communication. I use AI tools (LLMs to extract test requirements from Jira tickets, agent-driven end-to-end testing on real mobile devices) to test faster, and I check their output rather than trust it.
Projects from my QA coursework and independent practice.
Urban Routes: UI automation
Python, Selenium, PyTest, Page Object Model. Automated end-to-end tests of a ride-ordering flow.
- Handles dynamic elements and asynchronous behavior.
- Note: the target app was a temporary training environment and is no longer online, so the tests can't be run today.
Urban Scooter: manual, mobile and API testing
Test cases for a scooter delivery app's mobile app, web app and backend API.
- Functional, negative, UI-vs-design and connectivity testing.
- Boundary value analysis and equivalence partitioning.
- API tests in Postman for status codes and response payloads.
Coin Collector: unit testing
A small Pygame Zero game from a Python tutorial, extended with a timer and WASD controls, plus a pytest suite for the game logic.
- Garage Manager: command-line Python app with unit tests.
- SauceDemo test suite: tests for the saucedemo.com demo site.
Jan 2026 – Present · Boston, MA (hybrid) QA for the integrations domain: authentication, identity verification (KYC) and payments.
- Test third-party payment and identity verification integrations, including Postman API checks for response behavior, webhook delivery and retries.
- Design tests for regulated payment and onboarding flows: verification edge cases, payment lifecycle states and failure paths.
- Test new payment provider integrations, including deposits and withdrawals across multiple currencies and regions.
- Use AI-assisted automation, including agent-driven end-to-end testing on real mobile devices and LLM tooling that extracts test requirements from Jira tickets and specifications.
- Go-to resource for the integrations domain on authentication, KYC and payment provider behavior.
