Summary
Vladimir Poliakov is a seasoned QA engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in integration and functional testing for complex banking systems, currently driving automation and reliability at Tinkoff. He designs and implements test strategies, from E2E automated tests and regression suites to test automation plans and CI/CD optimizations that cut pipeline time threefold. With a background as a Java developer, he writes Java-based autotests (and is open to other languages), and complements testing with hands-on support for developers and analysts to close gaps in specs and bug resolution. He’s proactive about process improvement—introducing DOR/DOD, 3 Amigos, and a bespoke "Test Automation Plans" practice—and helped onboard teammates during a major bank merger. Less obvious: he co-developed an AI tool for QA at the banking level and routinely uses ChatGPT to unblock tricky debugging and research tasks.
