01 / A bit about me

Making the complex
feel a little simpler.

I’m Alex Ihnatsiuk, a Software Engineer and Automation & Performance QA Manager at RegEd. With 10+ years in software engineering and quality, I lead teams and work across development, test automation, and performance engineering.

I build automation systems and backend services that help teams release with confidence—from Playwright frameworks and AI-assisted QA workflows to modern REST APIs and database improvements. I also write about practical testing, including my article on Playwright.
