What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote-only opportunities where I can own end-to-end automation—especially reliable E2E UI suites—build/test frameworks, and collaborate with QA and engineering to improve release confidence.

I’m a QA Automation Engineer with experience in web and mobile test automation using TypeScript. I focus on building reliable E2E UI test automation suites, creating automation frameworks from scratch, and improving Playwright/TypeScript infrastructure.

I’ve worked across banking and healthtech products, including web applications, iOS applications, microservice-based systems, CI pipelines, test data, reporting, and release testing. I’ve also mentored junior specialists and take ownership of end-to-end automation work while collaborating closely with QA, developers, managers, and stakeholders.

In my day-to-day work, I use ChatGPT and Cursor to support coding, automated tests, error analysis, and documentation—and I even built a pet RAG assistant for searching answers in internal documentation. I’m remote-only and ready to deliver dependable automation that helps teams ship with confidence.
