Test automation should provide fast, trustworthy information—not simply increase the number of tests in a repository. I design and implement practical automated coverage for critical user journeys, integrations, and recurring regression risks.

My current automation work centers on Playwright and TypeScript, including end-to-end browser testing, API validation, reusable fixtures, test data, authentication, and execution in GitHub Actions and other CI/CD workflows. This is supported by more than 20 years of broader software testing experience, so automation decisions remain grounded in product risk and actual user behavior.

What I can help with

Playwright test automation

I build maintainable Playwright test suites for modern web applications, covering critical workflows across the user interface and API layer. Tests are structured for clarity, reuse, and reliable execution rather than short-term demonstration value.

End-to-end testing

I automate business-critical journeys that span multiple screens, roles, services, and data states. Coverage is selected according to risk, repeatability, and the value of rapid feedback.

API testing

API-level checks can provide faster and more focused feedback than browser tests. I use Playwright’s API capabilities and tools such as Postman to validate endpoints, authentication, payloads, status codes, error handling, and business rules.

CI/CD integration

Automated tests are most valuable when they run consistently as part of delivery. I integrate test execution with GitHub Actions and deployment workflows, configure reports and artifacts, and help teams distinguish genuine product defects from environmental or test-suite failures.

Existing-suite assessment and stabilization

An unreliable suite is easily ignored. I review existing automation for duplicated coverage, fragile selectors, unnecessary waits, shared-state problems, poor isolation, and unclear failures, then improve it incrementally without losing useful coverage.

Automation strategy

Not every test should be automated. I help teams identify where automation will reduce repetitive effort, protect important workflows, and shorten feedback cycles—and where exploratory or specialist manual testing remains the better investment.

Technology and practices

• Playwright
• TypeScript and JavaScript
• Node.js and npm
• Git and GitHub
• GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines
• REST APIs and JSON
• Postman
• Authentication and role-based workflows
• Reusable fixtures, helpers, and test data
• HTML reports, screenshots, traces, and diagnostic artifacts
• AI-assisted test design and investigation

Relevant experience

• Built Playwright end-to-end coverage for complex customer and administration workflows
• Automated testing within active Git and CI/CD development environments
• Tested SaaS, e-commerce, public-transport, mobile, and regulated software products
• Combined browser, API, data, and log-level evidence to investigate failures
• Worked directly with developers and product owners to define testable behavior and improve release confidence

My approach

I treat automated tests as production software. They should be understandable, reviewable, and maintainable by the team that inherits them.

My priorities are:

• meaningful coverage of important behavior;
• stable selectors and controlled test data;
• independent tests that can run safely in parallel;
• useful failure messages and diagnostic evidence;
• appropriate separation of UI, API, and lower-level checks;
• proportionate execution time; and
• regular removal or revision of tests that no longer provide value.

The aim is not maximum automation. It is dependable feedback at the point where the team can still act on it.

Starting or improving an automation project?

I can build an initial framework, extend an existing suite, automate a defined workflow, investigate unstable tests, or help establish a sustainable automation strategy alongside manual software testing.
