SDET \(QA Automation\) \| Python, Playwright, Pytest \| Building Reliable Automation Frameworks \| Exploring AI\-Assisted Testing

## About

Aspiring QA Automation Engineer \(SDET\) with hands\-on experience building automation frameworks using Python, Playwright, and Pytest\. I focus on creating reliable and scalable test systems by implementing: • Page Object Model \(POM\) architecture • Explicit waits and robust locators • Reusable fixtures and modular test design • End\-to\-end UI test automation for real user workflows Projects: • QA Automation Framework – Built a Playwright\-based framework with Pytest, covering search flows, navigation, and result validation with stability improvements\. • CourseHub – Full stack Java application for managing courses and user workflows\. • BiblioManager – Flask\-based web application for library management with CRUD operations and structured backend design\. I use Git and GitHub for version control and maintain clean, structured repositories\. Currently learning: • Advanced automation practices • API testing • AI\-assisted testing approaches Also practicing Data Structures & Algorithms to improve problem\-solving and code quality\. Looking for: Entry\-level QA Automation / SDET roles and freelance opportunities in test automation\. Portfolio: https://portfolio\-zeta\-coral\-20\.vercel\.app
