What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Quality Automation Engineer with 8 years of experience delivering reliable test solutions across Web, Mobile, Streaming and Console platforms. I transitioned from manual testing on Web, Mobile and Streaming devices to automation for PlayStation and Xbox, achieving high automation coverage, reduced flakiness, and faster feedback through Shift-Left practices.
I excel in designing maintainable automation frameworks and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines, using tools like Kotlin, Appium, Selenium and increasingly Playwright with TypeScript. I collaborate closely with developers and product teams to define test strategy, improve regression coverage, and drive continuous improvement in Agile environments.
