Description

I'm a Test Automation Engineer with a background in

consultancy and freelance work across banking, healthcare,

logistics, e-commerce, and digital platforms. I care about

release confidence and product quality, and I like being close to

the work - writing automation, shaping test strategies, and

helping teams figure out what actually needs testing.

I've spent my career working in Agile teams alongside

developers, analysts, and stakeholders. Quality works best

when it's part of the sprint, not bolted on at the end. Over the

years I've grown into a test lead and coaching role as well, which

I find equally rewarding.

My tooling experience covers Java, TypeScript, Scala, and

Kotlin, with frameworks including Selenium, Cypress,

Playwright, Appium, and Cucumber. On the API and

performance side I work with Postman, RestAssured,

Swagger/OpenAPI, Gatling, and JMeter. I use AI tooling to draft

test cases, explore edge cases, and speed up investigation - it's

become a natural part of how I work.
