Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

• Designed, executed, and maintained load, stress, and endurance tests using Gatling, ensuring system scalability and responsiveness under high traffic.
• Integrated performance tests into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, enabling automated and continuous performance validation.
• Conducted end-to-end application monitoring using tools like Splunk, Grafana, and Prometheus to identify bottlenecks, memory leaks, and performance degradation.
• Acted as test manager for several projects, overseeing test planning, execution, and reporting across functional and non-functional domains.
• Developed both web and mobile applications (front-end and back-end) using Spring Boot, Java, and modern UI frameworks, while applying rigorous testing and performance standards.
• Built and maintained automated UI tests using Selenide and Selenium, and automated API validation with Postman.
• Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams across agile environments, using tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket for project tracking and documentation.
• Worked closely with Swiss banking clients to tailor performance testing strategies to meet regulatory, security, and compliance requirements.

Key Achievements:

• Implemented a modular Gatling performance testing framework reused across multiple banking projects, reducing setup time and ensuring consistency.
• Identified and resolved multiple critical performance bottlenecks in production environments before go-live, preventing potential customer impact.
• Successfully led testing and performance validation of mobile banking applications under strict deadlines and regulatory constraints.
• Improved test coverage and quality assurance pipelines by integrating APM dashboards directly into performance regression reporting.
