Mark Joshua Flores

I’m a Quality Assurance Engineer with 5+ years of experience architecting test automation across web, mobile, and API platforms. I’ve established deployment-gating smoke tests, driven major test coverage gains across multiple repositories, and provided testing leadership across concurrent projects with strong ownership of QA reviews, testability, and requirement definition.

In my current role, I develop and maintain Playwright + TypeScript automation that strengthens web application coverage. I build and evolve automation frameworks using AI tools like Claude Code to scaffold Page Object Models, generate utility functions, and inspect Playwright traces for faster development, while also performing end-to-end failure analysis using Playwright traces, AWS CloudWatch logs, S3-hosted artifacts, and HyperDX to pinpoint regressions. I configure CI pipelines for nightly and pre-release regression runs, implement service virtualization/mocking to reduce dependency flakiness, and improve delivery outcomes by reviewing and validating QA pull requests and partnering cross-functionally on test strategy.

Earlier, I developed a test automation framework for web and native mobile applications, performing functional and regression testing, building test plans and reports, and managing defect workflows while also owning backend testing across API, database, and load. Before that, I designed an automated smoke test suite for high-traffic APIs and supported release planning and defect management in API, load, and performance contexts—work that earned recognition such as the Managing Director's Choice Award and WAGI Q2 - Execute with Agility.
