What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote roles with European or international product companies, where I can build AI-driven QA automation, expand proactive coverage in CI/CD, and deliver reliable Playwright and API test frameworks that reduce manual testing.

I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 10+ years of experience building modern test automation frameworks and re-engineering test processes using AI. I’m an expert in Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript) and API automation.

My most impactful work combines AI with test engineering: I created internal AI agents that automate the full test development lifecycle—from test case design in Jira to automated script generation—reducing test development time by ~10X. I’ve also shifted testing from reactive to proactive by triggering automation immediately after code merge and integration.

I built a Playwright + TypeScript automation framework from scratch for healthcare applications and integrated it into CI/CD pipelines for fast feedback loops with zero production downtime. I’m also known for drastically reducing manual testing effort (including going from 4 hours to 16 seconds) and for open-sourcing a free self-healing Playwright utility to reduce brittle selector maintenance.
