Background

About Ciprian Druhora

I am a Quality Engineering leader with 10+ years of experience in software testing and automation, focused on building scalable test strategies for complex enterprise platforms. My focus is not only on improving test coverage, but on transforming how engineering teams think about quality, shifting from reactive testing approaches to proactive, risk-driven quality ownership embedded in development workflows Currently, I lead quality initiatives for large digital products by defining end-to-end test strategies, modernizing legacy automation into scalable Playwright architectures, enabling parallel execution and API-driven test data models, and introducing AI-assisted engineering practices using tools such as Cursor and internal platforms. I also support teams in transitioning toward shared quality ownership across engineering. I am passionate about automation architecture, coaching high performing QA teams, improving release confidence through pragmatic quality gates, and leveraging AI to increase engineering productivity. Alongside leadership responsibilities, I remain hands on in framework design, execution stability improvements, and mentoring engineers on modern automation practices. I also deliver internal training programs on Playwright, test strategy, and modern quality engineering approaches. My goal is to contribute to organizations that treat quality as a strategic capability, not just a release checkpoint.
