About

I don't just write tests — I build the systems that let engineering teams ship faster and sleep better at night. With 4+ years of hands-on automation engineering at Ascendion, I've designed end-to-end test frameworks from the ground up using Playwright (Python), pytest, and Selenium — covering UI, API, database, and cross-browser layers in a single, unified strategy. Here's what that's looked like in practice: — Stabilised a flaky test suite to a 92% pass rate within two sprint cycles — Cut QA sign-off time by 2 full days per release by replacing manual checklists with automated Allure pipelines — Caught 8 critical API bugs — including a silent HTTP 200 masking a failed payment — before they ever reached production — Reduced test duplication by 50% using reusable pytest fixtures and POM patterns I integrate deeply with CI/CD using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and I believe quality is a team sport — not a gate at the end of the sprint. I actively collaborate with developers, DevOps, and product owners to shift quality left and bake it into every phase of the SDLC. Currently exploring the frontier of AI-augmented testing — using LLM tooling to accelerate test generation, edge-case discovery, and smarter coverage decisions. If you're building a team where quality is engineered, not bolted on — let's talk.
