Description

Automation Test Analyst | Frontend & API QA | Exploring Workflow Automation (n8n & AI)

With a strong background in software quality assurance, I specialise in automated testing using Playwright (TypeScript) for modern frontend applications, alongside robust API automation for back-end validation. I help teams shift left, deliver faster with confidence, and reduce manual testing overhead through clean, maintainable test suites.

My recent projects include:

Building scalable Playwright automation frameworks for web apps

Integrating API testing directly into CI pipelines

Collaborating closely with developers and product teams in Agile squads

I'm currently expanding into n8n-based automation and exploring how AI tools can streamline QA workflows—from test generation to regression triage.

If you're looking for a detail-oriented tester who understands the full product lifecycle, communicates well, and thinks critically about quality at every level, let's connect.
