About Bogdan Bradatan

Passionate about building and leading automation efforts that accelerate release cycles, reduce defects, and ensure regulatory compliance in both healthcare and fast‑paced iGaming environments. Early on, at 18, I developed a high‑traffic Romanian culinary website in PHP (10K+ daily users), which sparked my love for robust, scalable web solutions. Since then, I’ve worn many hats - including web developer, QA automation engineer, and QA Architect / Lead - each role sharpening my ability to manage multi‑disciplinary projects, and tackle complex challenges. Key Achievements & Leadership: • Architected and maintained modular E2E frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium + BDD) integrated into GitLab CI/CD, slashing regression time by 80% • Defined and rolled out an organization‑wide QA strategy for complex medical systems, ensuring 100% traceability against regulatory requirements for critical applications, including iOS apps, data entry, patient monitoring, inventory management, and medication coding • Developed and executed API‑first test suites, catching over 60% of integration defects before UI testing • Developed and implemented a standardized UI test framework strategy across multiple applications, improving maintainability, scalability, and coverage • Pioneered performance testing using Grafana k6 and real‑time monitoring, proactively catching issues before they reached production • Led a cross‑functional QA team of engineers, mentoring juniors and driving shift‑left practices that caught more defects in early sprints • Collaborated with architects, POs, and DevOps to build a scalable automation platform, making QA a strategic release partner Core Technical Competencies: • E2E/UI/API Testing: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium & Behave (BDD), Cucumber, Postman, UseBruno • Performance Testing: Grafana k6 • Mobile Testing: WebdriverIO + Appium • Languages & Markup: JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, HTML, CSS • CI/CD & Infrastructure: Git / GitLab / GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, SauceLabs • Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle DB • Monitoring & Logging: Grafana, New Relic • Methodologies: Agile/Scrum, Shift‑Left, KISS & DRY, test‑data engineering • Collaboration & Tools: Atlassian, TestLink, VS Code Why I excel: • Winning as a team is all that matters. • Speed is a superpower and shipping fast beats the best strategy. • I always get the job done. • I connect the dots to find creative solutions. • Passionate about building things that make a difference.
