About Me

Hello! I'm Taia, a QA Architect and Testing Solutions Expert with 7+ years of experience specializing in designing and implementing comprehensive testing strategies that drive quality excellence across complex software projects.

My expertise lies in setting up complete testing ecosystems from the ground up - from defining quality processes and test strategies to architecting robust automation frameworks that seamlessly integrate API and UI testing. I help organizations establish scalable testing workflows that reduce time-to-market while maintaining exceptional quality standards.

I design end-to-end testing solutions using modern tools like Playwright and WebdriverIO, create comprehensive API testing strategies with Postman and custom frameworks, and establish CI/CD pipelines that catch issues early. My approach focuses on building sustainable testing practices that empower teams to deliver reliable software with confidence.

Whether you need a complete testing strategy overhaul, automation framework architecture, or process optimization across diverse domains (EV platforms, EdTech, FinTech, Healthcare), I provide tailored solutions that transform how teams approach quality assurance.
