Fullstack QA Engineer at X5 Tech, cutting release smoke testing from 8 hours to 2 with Playwright automation.

Germany
Message

At X5 Tech, I develop Playwright and TypeScript tests for an enterprise HR platform, covering web, mobile, APIs, and end-to-end workflows. I reduced manual smoke testing from 8 hours to 2 per release and cut regression effort by 30%.

Previously at X5 Tech, I tested a retail POS platform across checkout and payment flows, including integrations with payment gateways and billing systems. At Jet Infosystems, I tested workflows for a high-load fintech underwriting project and investigated issues using Kibana logs.

At Mango Telecom, I tested integrations between VoIP services and external business systems, and earlier provided technical support for those integrations. I’m ISTQB Certified and have built a Python, Selenium WebDriver, and Pytest automation project using the Page Object Model.
