United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am an ISTQB Advanced Level certified Automation Engineer with a decade of hands-on testing experience, focused on building robust automation frameworks and improving delivery quality in CI/CD environments.
I lead QA teams to implement quality processes, mentor junior testers, and create maintainable UI and API automation using tools such as Cypress.io, Playwright, Selenium and Puppeteer.
I have practical experience across React frontends and Node.js backends, including working with GraphQL/REST APIs, load testing (K6.io, Artillery.io), Docker and Jenkins to ensure scalability and reliable deployments.
I actively investigate and introduce new tools and practices, take part in code reviews, and partner with Product, Delivery and DevOps to shift testing left and provide fast, reliable feedback loops for engineering teams.
