Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPetar Petrov is an SDET and QA automation leader with 11+ years of experience designing scalable test frameworks and driving quality transformation across web, mobile, and embedded systems. He has led QA teams and built automation architectures from the ground up—reducing regression cycles by 80% at Clearstory—while integrating Cypress, Playwright, CI/CD, observability, and cloud data platforms like Snowflake and AWS. Comfortable in Agile and DevOps environments, he blends hands-on backend work (including PHP/WordPress contributions to the popular Automattic/jetpack project) with strategic initiatives in AI-assisted testing, agentic automation, and model-centric QA. Petar has repeatedly bridged product, development, and DevOps to make automation a strategic enabler rather than a checkbox, and he mentors teams on test engineering best practices. Based in Houston, he’s pragmatic about metrics and predictive quality, applying data-driven approaches to ETL validation, observability, and test pipeline optimization. Colleagues know him as “Pete” — a personable technical leader who pairs deep legacy-system experience with curiosity about serverless and autonomous testing.
