Senior QA | Manual & Automated | Playwright (Python/JS) | CI/CD

I am an ISTQB-certified Senior QA Engineer with a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering and over 15 years of experience in high-stakes testing. I specialize in building modern, high-speed automation frameworks using Playwright and Python, helping companies achieve 99% regression confidence and faster release cycles. I don't just "find bugs" - I build sustainable automation architectures that reduce technical debt and integrate directly into your deployment pipeline. How I add value to your project: - Modern Web Automation: Expert implementation of Playwright (Python/JS) and Selenium WebDriver for robust, flake-free end-to-end testing. - Strategic Manual & Exploratory Testing: High-level manual testing focused on complex user journeys, edge cases, and UX/UI consistency. I believe manual testing is the foundation of a great automation suite - ensuring the right features are tested before they are automated. - CI/CD & DevOps Integration: Seamless integration of automated suites into GitHub Actions and Jenkins, ensuring quality gates are met before every deployment. - API & Backend Excellence: Comprehensive testing of REST and GraphQL services using modern Python libraries, ensuring data integrity across complex client/server architectures. - Strategic QA Leadership: I design the Test Strategy from scratch - conducting risk analysis, implementing the Test Pyramid, and standardizing processes across teams. Technical Toolkit: - Languages & Frameworks: Python (Pytest), JavaScript/TypeScript, Playwright, Selenium. - CI/CD & Infrastructure: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker, Git. - Testing Layers: UI/UX, API (Postman/Requests), Integration, and End-to-End. - Management: Test Plan & Design, Defect Management (Jira), and SDLC Optimization. Whether you are building a QA department from zero, securing critical payment flows, or migrating a slow legacy suite to Playwright, I provide the senior-level oversight necessary to scale your product with confidence.
