Usman Ali
@usmanali24
Senior QA automation engineer specializing in Playwright, CI/CD quality, and AI-driven testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior SQA / QA Automation Engineer with 7+ years of experience delivering scalable end-to-end test automation across Web, Mobile, Hybrid, and API platforms. I focus on CI/CD-driven quality, security validation, and regression automation that reduces release risk and accelerates delivery.
I’ve designed enterprise-grade automation frameworks—especially with Playwright + Cucumber—and built systems that validate complex admin workflows and data grids. I also implement multi-platform configuration management with intelligent routing to prevent conflicts across large test suites.
I’m an early adopter of AI-assisted testing, including MCP-integrated automation frameworks and AI agent / LLM output QA. In practice, I’ve built multi-agent AI QA pipelines (test generation, execution, failure analysis, and usability scoring) using Mastra Studio and Maestro MCP.
My background spans eCommerce (Magento 2, Shopify, BigCommerce), Flutter mobile applications, API & backend testing, performance testing, and security-focused QA. I collaborate closely with developers, DevOps, and security teams in Agile (Scrum/Kanban) environments to improve test coverage, report quality metrics, and strengthen overall product reliability.
