Senior QA Automation Engineer at Amaris Consulting building Playwright frameworks and an LLM agent for CI failures.
What I'm looking for
At Amaris Consulting, I build Playwright frameworks from scratch for web applications and REST APIs, using Python and TypeScript. The current project runs about 300 automated web and API tests in CI in 12 minutes, without sharding.
I’m rolling out a Python-based agentic QE workflow that investigates CI test failures using a self-hosted Qwen 30B LLM, MCP tools, and guardrails. I also introduced risk-based regression scoping that cut regression testing time by 15%.
Earlier, at Playrix, I built impact-analysis tooling that cut regression volume by 50%, and at ZeptoLab I developed test automation across mobile games, backend services, and internal tools. I’ve spent most of my time writing test code while also taking on test strategy and mentoring.
