AI Workflow Engineer | QA Automation Expert | Python, Playwright & API

Ready to cut manual testing effort or automate a complex workflow? I help SaaS, FinTech and eCommerce teams ship bug-free releases faster through QA automation with Playwright, Selenium and Appium, alongside AI-powered workflows that save time, reduce errors and scale with your business. Based in Sweden (CET), I offer full time-zone overlap for European clients along with flexible availability for US teams. With over 15 years of experience in software quality assurance and hands-on development, I bring a rare mix of testing discipline and automation engineering as a Senior QA Engineer and SDET. I have tested over 100 applications across SaaS, FinTech, healthcare, e-commerce and crypto domains. I specialize in building test suites, CI/CD regression pipelines and AI automation systems that are functional, maintainable, observable and production-ready. What I Offer: QA Automation and SDET Services: End-to-end (E2E) test automation frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, Appium and Cypress. Comprehensive Software and Mobile QA: Manual, regression, functional, exploratory, cross-browser, performance and mobile testing for iOS and Android. API Testing and Integration: Automated API testing with Postman, REST APIs, webhooks and FastAPI backend integrations. CI/CD and DevOps Pipeline Integration: Seamless automated test execution via GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins pipelines to catch bugs early in development. Python and Backend Automation: Python automation scripts, data processing, ETL pipelines and scalable backend workflows. AI and LLM Workflow Automation: AI-driven workflow automation and AI agent testing using n8n, OpenAI, Claude and Gemini to build production-grade pipelines. Reliability Engineering: Robust monitoring, automated retries, detailed logging and failure handling to ensure your automations maintain long-term stability. How I Work: I audit your current test coverage and manual processes, build a maintainable automation suite or workflow and provide full monitoring and documentation so your framework remains reliable over time. Send an invite to your job post and I will map out a clear automation roadmap for your project.
