👋 About Me

“Breaking software so users don’t have to.”

Hi, I’m Terka, a QA Lead at Apify. I focus on building testing processes from the ground up, automating wherever possible, and ensuring that products are secure, reliable, and ship faster.

I started my career as a Junior Tester in 2021 and quickly discovered that I love uncovering weak spots in software just as much as building systems to prevent them. Over time, I’ve led QA teams, scaled automation frameworks, and shaped QA practices that support development at every step.

🔧 What I Do

• 🧪Build and maintain automated tests (Cypress)
• 🔄 Improve CI/CD workflows and streamline release testing
• 📊 Expand monitoring and reporting with dashboards & alerts
• 🛡️ Oversee SOC2 compliance and coordinate security tests
• 👥 Recruit, mentor, and onboard new QA Engineers

🏆 What I’m Proud Of

• 🚀 Eliminated flaky tests and reduced runtime → faster releases
• ✅ Increased test coverage of core products
• 📈 Built QA practices now used across multiple projects

🌱 Currently Exploring

Playwright, QA observability, and advanced security testing.
