Automation Engineer
I build automation and the tooling around it. That started in QA: Playwright suites wired into CI, exploratory testing to catch what the suites miss, and enough discipline to keep both maintainable. It's grown from there into building the systems and tools that testing depends on, not just the tests themselves.
Most of my work is in JavaScript and TypeScript, with some Python. Tools I reach for often are Playwright, GitHub Actions, and Allure. Lately that list includes AI-assisted tooling, using models to write and maintain automation faster and to take on the parts of testing that don't need a human in the loop.
