What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced Software Engineer in Test based in Estonia, with a solid development background that allows me to build robust automation frameworks from scratch. My expertise spans various frameworks and languages, enabling me to create automated end-to-end UI tests using Playwright in TypeScript, which significantly aids developer confidence. I thrive in collaborative environments, maintaining a close relationship with development teams to ensure quality and efficiency in our processes.

Throughout my career, I have taken on mentoring roles, teaching aspiring testers and sharing my knowledge through public speaking engagements. I have contributed to the testing community by developing UI automation framework templates and conducting exploratory testing that has led to significant improvements in user experience. My commitment to quality is reflected in my ability to create actionable bug reports and comprehensive testing documentation, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and informed.
