PakistanWhat I'm looking for
At SearchAtlas, I designed and maintained a Playwright end-to-end test suite with 450+ cases, running daily against production and staging. It helped identify more than 22 critical defects, including billing discrepancies and cross-tenant data exposure.
In my MalkaQA projects, I built a Playwright and TypeScript automation framework and Claude Code workflows for test execution, failure triage, investigation, and reporting. They run read-only against the database and require human approval before tickets are filed.
