About me

Quality engineering for fast, safe releases

I design and evolve automation frameworks that give teams confidence to ship. My daily toolkit is Playwright with TypeScript, plus Selenium, Cucumber/BDD, Rest Assured and Appium, backed by solid experience in Java, Python, SQL, Jenkins and AWS.

Beyond UI tests, I validate APIs, databases and service integrations, run performance tests with JMeter and Gatling, and use Kibana for root-cause analysis. I review code, mentor engineers, and use AI-assisted and agentic testing (Playwright MCP, Planner, Generator, Healer), always with human review.
