CzechiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing and maintaining scalable test frameworks using JavaScript/TypeScript, Cypress, and Playwright to reduce manual regression and increase release cadence.
I have delivered comprehensive API testing (Postman/REST) achieving up to 80% endpoint coverage, built CI/CD integrations with GitLab CI to trigger tests on every merge, and reduced regression effort by 50–60% through automation.
I collaborate closely with developers and product owners, mentor junior QA engineers, and focus on pragmatic, data-driven testing that catches critical defects early and improves team testing efficiency.
