Senior QA Automation Engineer building robust Playwright and Cypress frameworks for high‑traffic SaaS platforms.
01—About
Senior QA Automation Engineer
I am a seasoned QA Automation Engineer with a proven track record of designing and scaling end‑to‑end testing frameworks from the ground up. Over the past nine years, I have led automation initiatives across web, REST API, and embedded device domains, consistently delivering high‑coverage suites that integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines. My expertise spans Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver, and WebdriverIO, coupled with strong scripting skills in TypeScript, JavaScript, and C#. I thrive in Agile and Scrum environments, collaborating closely with developers, product managers, and QA peers to drive quality and accelerate release cycles.
In my most recent role at Cake.com (Clockify), I built a Cypress framework for a high‑traffic SaaS platform and launched a Playwright project from scratch, both of which now run automatically on every build. Prior to that, I steered automation strategy at A Place for Mom, expanding regression coverage and integrating CI pipelines to surface defects early. My earlier experiences at Mistral, Softhouse Consulting, and Resolution Applications further honed my ability to deliver reliable, maintainable test suites across diverse technology stacks.
I am passionate about creating scalable, maintainable automation architectures that reduce flaky tests, improve test efficiency, and provide actionable insights to stakeholders. My goal is to continue driving quality excellence in fast‑moving product teams, leveraging modern tools and best practices to deliver software that users trust.
