QA automation engineer building Python frameworks and CI/CD automation to cut regression time.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 4 years of experience architecting Python-based test frameworks and embedding automation into CI/CD pipelines. I focus on building tools that scale, speed up feedback, and reduce manual effort.
At OwnBackup, I built and owned the Salesforce sync validation system—a multi-layer tool combining API, DB, SSH, and UI checks. It became the company’s source of truth for sync health, delivering an 80% reduction in manual regression and cutting test cycles from 45 to 18 minutes.
I owned and scaled a Python-based Selenium/Playwright/Pytest automation framework covering 100+ end-to-end web and API test cases. I optimized GitLab CI/CD pipelines with parallel execution to cut cycle time by 60%, and integrated Allure Reports with Slack notifications for instant build health and regression visibility.
Now I’m expanding into workflow automation using n8n and make.com, while leveraging AI tooling like Claude Code and Cursor to accelerate delivery and debugging. I enjoy collaborating across teams to embed automation into deployment workflows and minimize production risk.
