I build scalable test automation that strengthens release confidence.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I've led test automation and release assurance for Quatro Consulting, Tata Consultancy Services at Admiral Group, Planit Testing Consultancy, ITV, EF Education First, and MoneySuperMarket. I build scalable Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver, API, and end-to-end automation that improves release confidence across Agile and CI/CD delivery teams.
At Quatro Consulting, I reduced CI/CD execution time from three hours to 55 minutes, cut framework maintenance by 30%, and mentored five QA engineers. Across insurance, financial comparison, membership, advertising, and digital customer platforms, I've expanded automation coverage, investigated defects, strengthened accessibility and performance testing, and embedded quality earlier in delivery.
