Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoman Zakharov is a QA Release Manager and seasoned SDET with 10 years’ experience specializing in iOS/macOS testing, XCTest, Swift, and automation frameworks. He has a proven track record of making end-to-end tests faster and more reliable—e.g., implementing custom gRPC hooks and running iOS tests on Apple Silicon machines to dramatically improve stability and coverage. Roman builds pragmatic tooling and open-source extensions (SUITCase, ScreenObject) to eliminate boilerplate and surface hard-to-find bugs, and he combines deep audio and Unity testing expertise with C++/JUCE utilities. With a Master’s in Computer Science and hands-on experience across Appium, Robot Framework, Python, and Xcode, he bridges developer and QA workflows to keep complex apps ship-ready. An atypical strength: he pairs UI automation with platform-level tricks (not just test scripts) to achieve maintainable, deterministic test suites.
