Summary
Stepan Kuznetsov is a pragmatic QA Engineer with 8 years of experience delivering robust testing and release processes across telecom and media products, currently driving QA at TheSoul Publishing. He blends deep hands-on technical skills—PL/SQL, Python, Bash, Selenium/Playwright, Postman and Docker—with project leadership experience in CI/CD, environment provisioning, and cross-team release planning. At Tele2 he built and automated large-scale test environments and data pipelines supporting millions of users, and at TheSoul Publishing he introduced AI-assisted testing that halved manual testing time. Comfortable wearing multiple hats, he has led integration, load and API testing, mentored engineers, and shortened onboarding times through process improvements. Based in Innopolis with a background in telecom engineering, he’s self-teaching Kotlin and Python and favors fast information retrieval over knowing everything up front.
