What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can craft and scale test automation, collaborate closely with developers and stakeholders, and continuously improve quality standards—while staying ahead of new web and testing trends.

I’m a QA Engineer with about 10 years of experience in Bratislava, crafting test automation to support development and testing activities. I’m skilled in JavaScript and focused on improving software testing efficiency through robust, modern automation tools.

At Cera care, I’m an integral member of an agile squad, combining test automation and manual testing to investigate software issues, meticulously identify and track bugs, and validate resolutions. I conduct comprehensive regression testing with Playwright to confirm bug fixes and feature implementations, while staying current with emerging testing tools and evolving strategies.

As a QA Lead at Etnetera, I oversaw a dedicated team of software testers and actively guided testing strategies and processes. I spearheaded the creation of a Cypress Framework Academy to upskill the team, supported knowledge transfer sessions, and partnered with stakeholders to align QA work with overall goals—backed by hands-on testing, documentation, and continuous improvement.
