Summary
Andrew Novykov is a Senior SDET focused on AI test automation with 13 years of software experience and a 4+ year specialty in building production-grade test automation frameworks for web, mobile, and APIs using Playwright, Selenium/WebDriverIO, Cypress, Mocha and JavaScript. Based in Los Angeles, he couples deep automation craftsmanship—creating frameworks from scratch and integrating them with Docker, CI/CD, cloud test labs and shell tooling—with hands-on frontend development in Angular and React, enabling faster developer collaboration and fewer regressions. His background spans startups and enterprise SaaS (Optro, AuditBoard, FLATLAY), plus entrepreneurial roots launching an IoT startup and dozens of websites, which gives him a pragmatic product mindset on top of test engineering. Comfortable across languages (JS, Ruby, Rust) and databases, he often bridges QA and engineering by contributing frontend fixes and API tooling, reducing handoffs and accelerating delivery.
