What I'm looking for

I’m open to global remote roles and available as an independent contractor (B2B) or full-time through an Employer of Record.

At Xello, I maintained Playwright and Cypress automation suites and developed more than 100 automated UI test scenarios across multiple product areas. I also led a Cypress upgrade and integrated automated tests into Jenkins CI.

In my current Senior Developer in Test role with Founder & Lightning, I’ve built Playwright frameworks in JavaScript/TypeScript and Python, and developed UI and mobile tests that reduced manual regression effort by approximately 70%. I’ve also automated REST API testing and supported release validation.
