Illya L.
QA Automation Engineer: Playwright, TypeScript, API & Manual QA
I build Playwright + TypeScript test automation your team can trust, backed by careful manual testing. On my last Upwork contract I grew from manual API testing into automation that cut regression time by 70% and production bugs by 64%. What I can do for you: - Build a test automation framework from scratch (Playwright + TypeScript) or take over and stabilize an existing one - Automate API testing (REST and gRPC) and validate data directly in the database with SQL - Connect tests to your CI/CD pipeline so every build is checked automatically - Fix flaky tests: analyze failed runs, find the root cause, make the suite reliable - Manual functional, regression, smoke, cross-browser and mobile web testing - Write test cases, checklists and bug reports developers can reproduce on the first try Recent experience: - Healthcare platform for medical transportation: built the automation framework for the trip service from scratch and kept it stable as the product evolved; covered REST/gRPC APIs and database checks; set up test runs in CI/CD. - E-commerce platform (NDA): maintained a JS/TS automation suite and API coverage for promo codes, delivery options and payment methods; stabilized unreliable tests. - QA outsourcing company: manual testing of web apps across browsers and mobile devices. Tools: Playwright, TypeScript/JavaScript, Postman, Swagger, SQL, Git/GitHub, CI/CD, TestRail, Testmo, Jira, Linear. How I work: I fit into your Agile/Scrum process, communicate in clear English, keep you updated on what's covered and what's risky, and work closely with developers. Kyiv time zone (UTC+3), good overlap with Europe and US mornings. Message me with your product and current testing setup, and I'll tell you where automation will save you the most time.
