I help SaaS and technology companies release software faster with fewer failures, building test automation in Playwright, Cypress and Selenium, and the CI/CD pipelines that run it. Top Rated Plus, 11+ years, 9,500+ hours delivered on Upwork at 100% Job Success. ISTQB-certified. Most teams hire a QA engineer and a DevOps engineer and then pay for the handoff between them: the tests nobody wired into the pipeline, the pipeline nobody put quality gates in. I do both, so that gap closes. CI/CD & DEVOPS • CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins and Azure DevOps • Automated suites wired into every merge, with real pass/fail gates instead of a nightly job nobody reads • Build, test, scan and deploy pipelines with environment promotion • Blue/green and rolling deployments, automated rollback criteria • Containerised and parallel test execution to keep pipelines fast TEST AUTOMATION & SOFTWARE QA • Automated testing with Playwright, Selenium and Cypress: web testing, mobile app testing and API testing • Test automation framework design from scratch: page objects, fixtures, reporting, parallel execution • Functional testing, regression testing, manual testing and test case design where they earn their place • Flaky-test elimination and suite runtime reduction • API testing and integration testing with Postman and code-based suites • Load testing and stress testing to find limits before your users do TESTING AI & LLM FEATURES • Test suites for AI agents, chatbots and LLM features: prompt regression, evals, hallucination and guardrail checks • API and end-to-end tests for RAG pipelines and tool calling agents • AI evals wired into CI/CD so a prompt or model change cannot ship untested SECURITY TESTING & DEVSECOPS • Security testing against the OWASP Top 10: IDOR, XSS, SQL injection, authentication and access control • API security and authorization testing • Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, reported with remediation guidance engineers can act on • Security scanning inside the pipeline: SAST, DAST, dependency and container scanning • Secrets management and least-privilege access CLOUD & INFRASTRUCTURE • Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure and GCP • Docker and Kubernetes: containerised applications, test runners and services • Terraform and Ansible, environments defined as code and rebuilt on demand • Linux administration, scripting in Python and Bash • On-demand test environments that actually match production MONITORING & RELIABILITY • Prometheus, Grafana, ELK and CloudWatch • Dashboards and alerts tied to what users actually feel • Post-release verification and faster incident recovery WHY BOTH, FROM ONE ENGINEER A test suite is only as useful as the pipeline that runs it. A pipeline is only as safe as the tests inside it. I write the test suite and I wire it to the CI pipeline. I containerise the test environment and I define what a passing build means. When a deploy fails, I can read the pipeline and the test output. Eleven years of quality engineering means I know what "ready to release" actually looks like; the DevOps side means I can build the system that decides it automatically. WHERE I HAVE DONE THIS Fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, ride-hailing and enterprise SaaS including EmpowerID, VistaJet, Bykea, CreditBook, Bluefin, Xola, ClearCaptions, Spekit and Cartpanda. These are platforms where a bad release costs money or breaks compliance, which is exactly where automated quality gates and reliable pipelines stop being optional. HOW I WORK I start by finding where the pain actually is, usually a look at your current tests, pipeline and release process, then fix the thing that unblocks the most, first. I document what I build and hand it over so your team can run it without me. Clear written updates, no surprises, no lock-in. Tell me what your release process looks like today and what breaks most often. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
