I build end-to-end test automation frameworks for UI, APIs, and data quality in CI/CD.

I’m a test automation engineer with 10+ years across FinTech, AdTech, iGaming, and Web3, focused on building and owning automation frameworks end to end. I architect UI, API, and data-quality automation in Playwright, TypeScript, Selenium, and Python, integrated into CI/CD.

Most recently as Lead QA / SDET, I built and owned UI and API automation frameworks from scratch in Playwright and TypeScript, structured around the Page Object Model and wired so every merge runs regression. I also integrated Claude Code into my day-to-day workflow to accelerate test authoring, scaffolding, and maintenance, and implemented extensive AWS-based data-quality checks with reconciliation and alerting for production discrepancies.

I’ve led QA and testing strategy across enterprise products, including mentoring engineers, running code reviews, and embedding quality into the delivery lifecycle. Earlier roles include leading Web3 QA (wallet-connect and referral flows) and building a Python + Selenium automation framework that integrated into CI to cut manual effort, as well as automating 300+ Appium test cases for mobile image-processing across Android and iOS.
