Experience

Nov 2023 – present · Software Engineer, Qase

My scope has moved through three areas of the platform — test execution, AI tooling, and analytics.

•	Test execution. Designed and maintained the services that carry out test runs and store their results.
•	AI services. Built the export side of the autotest generator, which turns manual test cases into runnable code. Added Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Cucumber and Robot Framework targets across Python, Java, C# and JavaScript/TypeScript, along with asynchronous export jobs and credit accounting.
•	Analytics. Work on QQL, the platform's query language, and its ClickHouse runtime: a time-series query builder, custom-field filtering, aggregation over large volumes of test results, and backfills at production scale.
•	Natural-language querying. Built the pipeline that turns plain-English questions into QQL, with schema-validated model output, a refusal path for questions it cannot answer, a circuit breaker and rate limiting.
