Senior QA Automation Engineer | Playwright | Maestro | Mobile and Web

Playwright automation frameworks and Maestro Studio mobile testing, built for SaaS and Fintech teams that cannot afford broken releases. 5+ years delivering end-to-end QA across web, Android, and iOS — from test strategy to CI/CD pipeline integration. I have led QA for enterprise clients at Accenture and Cognizant across Telecom (eSIM provisioning), Life Insurance (Guardian Life B2C platform), and Cloud SaaS — owning the full quality lifecycle from sprint planning through release sign-off. My Playwright and Selenium test automation frameworks have gone into production for teams of 50+ engineers, and my Maestro Studio flows have replaced hours of manual testing with fully automated CI-triggered runs. What I bring that most QA engineers do not: I build frameworks your team can maintain after I leave, write test strategies tied to business risk rather than feature checklists, and communicate at a senior level with developers, PMs, and non-technical stakeholders. For SaaS and Fintech clients, I understand what a broken payment flow, failed onboarding, or checkout regression costs in production — and I design coverage around those risks from day one. 🎯 Core Specializations Playwright Automation (Web) Playwright framework design and development (JavaScript/TypeScript) Cross-browser test automation: Chromium, Firefox, WebKit Page Object Model, fixtures, and scalable test architecture CI/CD integration: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab Parallel execution and flaky test elimination Maestro Studio - Mobile QA Automation Mobile test automation for Android and iOS using Maestro Studio Flow-based UI testing, gesture simulation, and assertion design Maestro Cloud integration for continuous mobile testing Deep-link, push notification, and offline scenario testing Mobile and API Testing Appium-based cross-platform mobile test automation REST API testing with Postman: schema validation, auth flows, contract testing Manual testing: functional, UAT, smoke, sanity, and regression testing App Store and Play Store pre-release validation Senior QA Leadership and SDET End-to-end QA ownership: strategy, planning, execution, release sign-off QA process setup for startups and scaling engineering teams Agile/Scrum QA: sprint planning, defect triage, release readiness Mentoring junior QA engineers and stakeholder reporting 🛠 Tech Stack Web Automation: Playwright, Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber Mobile Automation: Maestro Studio, Appium Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Java API Testing: Postman, REST Performance: JMeter CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI Bug Tracking: JIRA, Confluence, qTest, ALM Octane 🏆 Key Achievements Built Playwright and Selenium test automation frameworks from scratch for SaaS and Cloud platforms Implemented Maestro Studio mobile automation for Android and iOS production apps Reduced mobile regression testing from manual hours to automated CI-triggered runs Led QA across 5+ enterprise projects: SaaS, Insurance, Telecom, Fintech Set up QA processes from zero for early-stage startups before first release 100% Job Success on Upwork across SaaS, Insurance, Telecom, and Cloud domains 📋 Industries: SaaS, Fintech, Insurance Tech, Telecom (eSIM), Cloud Applications, E-commerce 📩 Available now for Playwright automation, Maestro Studio mobile testing, manual testing, API testing, SDET contracts, or full QA lifecycle ownership — test strategy through release sign-off.
