Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolUrša Kačar is a pragmatic Lead QA Engineer and QA Manager with nine years of experience shaping QA practices for widely used browser extensions, including AdBlock and Adblock Plus. She blends hands-on test automation (Java, WebdriverIO, Maven) and tooling (GitLab, GitHub, Cucumber Studio) with people management, hiring, and cross-functional process design across fully remote teams. Known for relentless curiosity and "common sense" testing, she excels at keeping one foot in the codebase while scaling QA from solo contributor setups to multi-engineer teams. Urša helped steer a complex post-merger release process and migrated test management from spreadsheets to structured test suites, saving release time and improving quality gates. Preferring async remote work and small autonomous teams, she pairs practical automation with clear product thinking and an unusual knack for turning tedious tasks into repeatable, low-effort solutions.
