ivan@portfolio:~ $ cat about.txt

Senior Automation QA with 7+ years across fintech, AdTech and gaming. I bridge automation gaps with exploratory testing — clean code, lean E2E, and CI pipelines that don't flake at 4am — but that's not a promise...)

Running 47 tests using 4 workers

✓ 47 passed (1m 38s)
