SERGEI RUDIK · QA ENGINEER

API test
automation.
More confidence
in every release.

I help you build a testing process, automate your API, and introduce AI assistants where they actually save the team time.

For teams with a working product and a growing backend.

From my work history

01 / HOW I CAN HELP

Start with what
slows your team down.

From a focused review to full adoption.
Scope, result, and price are agreed before we start.

01WHERE TO START

QA process
audit

Bugs reach users, and the team cannot tell which checks matter most.

  • I review your tests, release process, and CI
  • I find the gaps and the sources of extra work
  • I put together a prioritized improvement plan
OUTCOME

A risk map and a concrete action plan for the team.

Discuss an audit
02CUT MANUAL REGRESSION

API automation
from scratch

Your backend keeps growing, manual checks take more and more time, and releases cannot wait.

  • I build the foundation with Python and pytest
  • I cover the scenarios we agree on
  • I connect CI and hand over the documentation
OUTCOME

A working set of automated tests your team can grow.

Discuss automation
03TRUST YOUR TESTS AGAIN

Fast and stable
automated tests

Checks take too long, random failures pull focus, and a red pipeline has become normal.

  • I find the causes of the flaky failures
  • I optimize test execution and test data preparation
  • I set up parallel execution
OUTCOME

Fixes plus a before-and-after comparison of speed and stability.

Review my tests
04PROVE THE VALUE OF AI

AI assistants
for QA

Requirements, documentation, and failure triage eat time the team would rather get back.

  • We pick one recurring task
  • I build an agent around your workflow
  • We validate it on real examples
OUTCOME

A working pilot, a quality assessment, and a decision on further adoption.

Discuss an AI pilot

02 / AI IN THE WORKFLOW

Delegate the routine.
Keep control.

We start with a single task and measure the value on your own examples. You will see what the agent does and how its results are verified.

Pick a task for the pilot

A new direction: we start with a limited pilot and quality criteria agreed up front.

01

Requirements and documentation

Identify contradictions and prepare draft test plans, checklists, and test scenarios.

02

Creating automated tests

Draft tests from your API specification and project code, reviewed by your team.

03

Failure triage

Summaries from logs, grouped errors, and hypotheses about the causes of failures.

04

Validations and AI checks

Data checks against rules and schemas; example sets for evaluating AI features.

Strict checks live in code. AI results are measured against quality criteria. Changes go through review.

03 / EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE OFFER

I build testing myself.
I will help you build yours.

I have worked in QA since 2017. Currently on the SIEM team at BI.ZONE. I have automated testing for APIs, web applications, and mobile apps, built test infrastructure, and trained QA engineers.

04 / HOW WE WORK

Clear scope.
Verifiable result.

I work personally: from the first review
to handing the result over to your team.

01 / INTRODUCTION

We break down the task

You tell me about the product, the problem, and the constraints. I clarify where I can help.

02 / AGREEMENTS

We lock in the result

We agree on the scope, access, deadlines, price, and acceptance criteria.

03 / WORK

We move forward in stages

I show intermediate results, discuss changes, and gather feedback.

04 / HANDOVER

The knowledge stays

I hand over the code, documentation, and recommendations. The team knows what to do next.

EXAMPLE FROM MY WORK

Automation in a SIEM team

Approach

At BI.ZONE, I developed an automated testing strategy and a Python/pytest framework. I integrated tests into GitLab CI/CD.

Outcome

API test coverage exceeded 60%, and regression testing time fell by 40%.

An example from my full-time role, without internal product details.

05 / BEFORE WE START

Straight to the point.

How much does it cost?

The price depends on the scope, the state of the project, and the access we get. After an initial review I propose a scope and an estimate. For an audit or a pilot we can fix a limited scope.

Can we start with a small task?

Yes. For example, triaging failing tests, automating one group of API scenarios, or an AI pilot that prepares checklists.

We already have a QA team. Is this a fit?

Yes. I can take on a specific part: the architecture of your automated tests, regression speed, CI, or introducing an AI assistant. The result is handed over to your team.

What happens to code and data when working with AI?

Before the pilot we agree on the allowed data, the model, and the environment. We choose what may go to external services and what must stay inside your infrastructure.

Can we arrange support after the project?

Yes, we discuss the format separately: evolving the tests, consultations for the team, or regular help with releases.

06 / START WITH YOUR TASK

What gets in the way
of shipping
more calmly?

Tell me about the product and the problem. I will suggest the next step and clarify what is needed for an estimate.
