QA automation engineer building scalable Playwright and API test frameworks.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable test automation frameworks for web applications and digital platforms in Agile/Scrum. I focus on shift-left testing and Quality Engineering, delivering UI and API automation with Playwright and TypeScript, CI/CD integration via GitHub Actions, and REST API testing using Postman.
At Qualitas Insurance Company, I served as Interim QA Lead—coordinating testing, sprint planning, defect triage, and QA status reporting while monitoring quality metrics like flake rate, defect escape rate, test coverage, and pipeline duration. I designed Playwright UI/E2E suites that reduced regression testing time by 85%, integrated automated tests into CI/CD quality gates, and helped teams define acceptance criteria early to prevent regressions.
