QA Lead & Automation Architect | Playwright, Cypress, API, Performance
Shipping fast, but bugs keep reaching production? I'm a QA Lead and automation architect (ISTQB-CTFL, 8+ years) who designs test automation and QA processes that catch issues before your users do, across web, mobile and APIs. Recent results: • Designed automation frameworks and mentored QA teams • Up to 85% automation coverage • ~60% faster regression cycles • ~40% better deployment efficiency • 400+ automated test cases delivered WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU • Test automation: Playwright, Cypress or Selenium frameworks with Page Object Model, stable selectors and CI/CD (Jenkins), built so your team can maintain them. • API testing: Postman collections and automated REST checks covering auth flows, contracts (Swagger/OpenAPI), errors and edge cases. • Performance testing: JMeter and k6 load, stress and soak tests that find bottlenecks before launch. • Manual and exploratory testing: functional, regression, smoke and UAT for web and mobile, with clear, reproducible bug reports in Jira. • AI-assisted QA: faster test generation, smarter test data and fewer flaky tests. • QA documentation: test plans, test cases and release checklists. REAL DEVICES, REAL CONDITIONS I test hands-on with real devices, not just emulators: • iOS: iPhone 16 Pro Max, 14 Pro Max, 14 Plus, 13 Pro Max, 11, XR • Android: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, S21 Plus, A18, OnePlus 9 and 8T, Poco X4, Realme GT Master Edition • Desktop: MacBook Air, Lenovo ThinkPad, HP Pavilion x360, Samsung Galaxy Book 4 and 5, Realme Book I also simulate slow 3G/4G networks and throttled APIs to check your app holds up under pressure, and use BrowserStack when you need a wider browser and OS matrix. INDUSTRIES FinTech, digital banking, SaaS, e-commerce, healthcare, HR tech, ride-hailing and AI products. TOOLS Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, JavaScript, Java, Postman, JMeter, k6, Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket, Jira, MySQL, Confluence, Notion. HOW I WORK You work directly with me, from planning to sign-off. You get a short test plan up front, regular progress updates, and bug reports your developers can act on right away. I also mentor teams and help with defect triage, so releases keep moving instead of getting blocked. Send me your project scope and timeline, and I'll recommend the fastest path to reliable releases.
