I’m a senior QA automation engineer building shift-left testing and scalable Playwright/Cypress frameworks for high-reliability products.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 12+ years of experience delivering quality across e-commerce, media/SaaS, logistics, public safety technology, and mobile gaming. I’ve built QA processes from scratch, strengthened shift-left testing, and defined test strategies that improved release confidence in Agile/Scrum environments.
In my most recent role at ScorePlay, I delivered an end-to-end QA automation foundation for a greenfield initiative, implementing shift-left practices within a trunk-based development workflow. I partnered with Product and Engineering to refine acceptance criteria, improve testability, and align QA across iterative delivery cycles—achieving zero critical production incidents through structured strategy and cross-functional collaboration.
Previously at Vestiaire Collective, I maintained and scaled Cypress-based UI and API automation suites across multiple product domains while eliminating critical regressions. I also led QA efforts as a QA Team Lead (5+ engineers) and as a Principal QA Engineer, setting quality gates, managing regression cycles, and ensuring reliability across distributed systems using Postman, Zephyr, and performance testing.
