Darko Puhalo
@dpuhalo
Senior QA Automation Engineer specializing in Playwright/WebdriverIO test automation and CI/CD-driven quality delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Automation Engineer who has led automation efforts as the sole QA in a team of 8, in addition to supporting and directly managing three QA engineers across three teams.
I optimize QA processes and UAT delivery cycles, setting up regression testing pipelines using a client provided CI platform. I also design and manage test cases in TestRail and automate them with Playwright using TypeScript.
With 7+ years of experience across embedded and web domains, I’ve owned the migration from WebDriver to Playwright and integrated automation solutions with AWS and CI/CD platforms. I coordinate and mentor junior team members, and I bring a strong testing foundation from roles that included system and integration testing, HIL setup maintenance, and requirement/test management with DOORS, TestRail and X-Ray tools. I’m comfortable working with Agile workflows and delivering quality through end-to-end testing practices.
