I build Playwright automation frameworks that accelerate reliable web application releases.
What I'm looking for
At Webkorps, I built a reusable Playwright and TypeScript automation framework that reduced manual regression effort by 60% and increased automated regression coverage to 80%.
I've integrated smoke and regression suites into CI/CD pipelines, cutting release verification time by 40%, and configured parallel execution to reduce full regression runtime from six hours to under two. I validate REST APIs, backend data with SQL, and AWS deployments across EC2, S3, and Lambda.
Previously at Treeline and Rakuten, I delivered functional, regression, UAT, API, and performance testing for web and mobile applications across 20+ production releases. I work closely with developers, product owners, business analysts, and stakeholders to clarify requirements, manage defects, and keep quality aligned with sprint goals.
I enjoy building maintainable test suites that strengthen product quality and help teams ship stable releases faster.
