About
Roman Chursin
Senior SDET with 10+ years of experience delivering high-quality Web and Mobile applications. Specializes in building robust automation frameworks and architecting AI agent systems.
Strong front-end testing background with React and modern JS/TS tooling. Skilled at architecting test strategies, mentoring teams, and improving software quality through cross-functional collaboration. Thrives in fast-paced, agile environments.
Beyond traditional testing, I architect and operate autonomous multi-agent AI systems. My BigDawg project runs three specialized Claude-powered agents on dedicated hardware — a routing agent, a coding/deployment agent, and a research/strategy agent — working 24/7 through OpenClaw and Telegram.
