Team Lead QA. Writing about craft.
Leading a team of 22 engineers at Jusan Bank. QA Hub is my personal project — one place to learn QA without courses or ads.
My name is Ali Akhmetov. I work as Team Lead QA at Jusan Bank in Almaty — leading a team of 22 engineers on the JBCredits product. 7+ years in QA: from Head of Technical Support at amoCRM to QA Automation Engineer at StarOfService (Paris) and two roles at Jusan Bank.
QA Hub is my personal project. I started it because I was tired of pointing juniors to random articles and realised: there is no decent Russian-language QA knowledge base. There are paid courses, there are Telegram fragments, but no single place to sit, read, and actually learn something over six months.
No ads, no sales pages, no "become a tester in three months." Just articles, practice, and tools.
