Summary
Pavel Samoilov is a QA Practice Leader with over 15 years in software QA and a 16-year background in developing and integrating autonomous systems, bringing an unusual systems-architecture perspective to quality engineering. At Provectus he leads 13 engineers across multiple projects, embeds QA into business outcomes, and has driven near-zero production defects through defined quality gates and a whole-team approach. He helped set QE standards at Evisort that were cited as a factor in its acquisition, and he has built automation frameworks and end-to-end test suites for AI-driven contract intelligence platforms. Pavel is actively integrating AI into testing—building an AI QA agent in the open-source awos framework to automate test design and audits—and he holds ISTQB FL v4.0 certification. His early career in embedded electronics, system administration, and unmanned vehicle development (FPV/UGV/UMV) gives him a rare combination of hardware, firmware, and cloud-native testing experience. Based in Odesa, Ukraine, he’s interested in QA leadership, autonomous systems, and leveraging AI to shift QA from gatekeeping to domain-focused developer consulting.
