Manual | Automation Engineer | Playwright | Postman | ISTQB Certified

ISTQB-certified QA Engineer with hands-on experience testing SaaS platforms, APIs, and production web applications using Cypress, Playwright, Postman, and promptfoo. I help teams catch critical bugs before release and build confidence in production deployments. My background as a software developer means I understand what's happening under the hood, not just what the screen shows. I read code, understand APIs, and write bug reports that developers can immediately act on. I've worked with startups and distributed teams across the US, Europe, and Africa, testing SaaS dashboards, CRM systems, authentication flows, admin panels, and data-heavy web applications end-to-end. ────────────────────────────────── What I test ────────────────────────────────── → SaaS platforms and dashboards → CRM systems and internal tools → Authentication flows, user roles, admin panels → REST APIs and backend responses (Postman) → Automated regression suites (Cypress, Playwright) → Edge cases and failure states, not just happy paths → AI-native applications and LLM output validation (promptfoo) ────────────────────────────────── How I work ────────────────────────────────── → Manual testing first — to catch what automation misses → Automation where it adds lasting value (regression, CI pipelines) → Structured bug reports: steps to reproduce, expected vs actual, environment, evidence ────────────────────────────────── Clients hire me when they need to: ────────────────────────────────── ✅ Test AI-native features and validate LLM behavior with promptfoo ✅ QA a SaaS product before launch or a major release ✅ Build or maintain a Cypress / Playwright automation suite ✅ Add structured API testing with Postman to their QA process ✅ Find edge cases and logic gaps before real users do ✅ Work with a QA engineer who understands the engineering side ────────────────────────────────── Credentials ────────────────────────────────── ✅ ISTQB® Certified Tester, Foundation Level ✅ KCNA: Kubernetes & Cloud Native Associate (2025) ✅ 4+ years across software engineering and QA roles
