Ahmed A.
QA & Test Automation Engineer | Playwright & Katalon | ISTQB Certified
A top-performing certified QA engineer, I help startups and product teams ship with confidence — not just by catching critical bugs before your users do, but by building the QA processes that keep quality high long after launch. Whether you need hands-on testing today or a complete QA process set up from scratch, I deliver both. **📜 Certifications:** - ISTQB Certified: Foundation | Agile Tester | Mobile Tester | Test Analyst - Katalon Certified Expert **🏗 QA Process Building — From Zero to a Working Quality System:** Many teams have no QA structure at all — testing is ad-hoc, bugs slip through, and releases feel risky. I fix that by designing and implementing QA processes tailored to your team: - Assessing your current workflow and identifying quality gaps - Defining test strategy, coverage standards & release criteria - Setting up bug tracking, test documentation & reporting workflows (JIRA, Trello) - Integrating QA into your Agile sprints and CI/CD pipeline - Establishing regression and smoke test suites your team can rely on - Documenting everything so the process outlives any single tester The result: predictable releases, fewer production bugs, and a QA workflow your whole team actually follows. **🔍 What I Deliver Day-to-Day:** ✅ Web, Mobile (iOS & Android) & Desktop app testing ✅ Functional, Regression, Integration, Exploratory & Usability testing ✅ Cross-browser & cross-device testing (BrowserStack) ✅ API testing (Postman, Insomnia) ✅ Clear test plans, test cases & actionable bug reports your devs will thank you for **🤖 Test Automation — Playwright & Katalon Studio:** I build and maintain scalable automation frameworks that cut testing cycles and catch regressions early: - Web UI automation (Playwright, Katalon) - API test automation - Regression suites with CI/CD integration **🧠 AI-Enhanced QA — Automating the Full Testing Workflow:** I go beyond using AI as a helper — I build custom AI skills and workflows with Claude that automate most of the QA process end-to-end: - Turning manual tickets into structured test cases and executing them faster - Generating test scenarios and edge cases with broader coverage - Converting validated manual tests into production-ready automation scripts (Playwright, Katalon) - Integrating Claude with your tools via MCPs (JIRA, test management, CI/CD) so testing, reporting & ticket updates flow automatically The result: a QA pipeline where AI handles the repetitive work and human expertise focuses on what matters. **🛠 Toolbox:** Playwright, Katalon Studio, Postman, Insomnia, JIRA, Trello, BrowserStack, Proxyman, Bugzilla, Claude AI (Skills & MCP integrations) **💡 Why Clients Trust Me:** - ⭐ Top Rated Plus with a proven track record on Upwork - Fast turnaround, clear communication, detailed reporting - I find what others miss — and build processes that prevent bugs, not just find them Need someone to test your product today and build a QA system that scales with you tomorrow?
