QA Automation Engineer

I build the tools that make quality possible: resilient test frameworks and AI-powered engineering automation.

About

I'm a QA engineer focused on test automation and AI-assisted engineering, not just running tests but building the tools and pipelines that make quality possible. That includes resilient Playwright and Cypress suites, and agentic systems like the one that researches, writes, and publishes everything in the Writing section below.
