Description

Need reliable, scalable test automation that actually works? I build test frameworks that catch bugs before your users do — and keep catching them as your product evolves.

With 10+ years in QA engineering across banking, trading, insurance, and hospitality, I've seen what breaks and why. Today I specialize in Playwright with TypeScript for modern E2E testing, combined with AI-augmented workflows that cut test maintenance by 60% and speed up test creation 3x.

What I deliver:

End-to-end test automation frameworks (Playwright, TypeScript, JavaScript)
CI/CD-integrated test pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
AI-powered test generation and self-healing locator strategies
API testing (REST, GraphQL) and performance testing (NeoLoad, JMeter)
Test strategy, architecture design, and team mentoring
Migration from legacy Selenium/Java stacks to modern Playwright

Recent impact: Reduced regression execution time by 80%. Cut test maintenance overhead by 60%. Built AI workflows that generate test suites from user stories.

I work through digiworks, my registered agency in Germany — meaning clean B2B contracts, professional invoicing, and zero administrative friction for you.

Available for remote EU engagements. Let's talk about making your quality engineering faster, smarter, and more reliable.
