QA Automation Engineer / SDET

Built and maintained automation solutions using Claude agents within a Playwright/Maestro framework, reducing human execution time on daily tasks by more than 50%. •Defined Claude agents for requirement analysis and test case generation based on Jira tickets. •Tested iOS and Android builds using BrowserStack device farms, ensuring coverage across multiple devices during the testing stage. •Analyzed the integrity of PostHog events, Braze communication data, and information stored in Firebase. •Collaborate closely with the development team to accelerate the testing process, whether validating tickets ready for testing or investigating reported defects. •Define a Claude agent that understands new application logic, interprets test cases, and transforms them into automation by leveraging previously implemented Claude hooks and skills to reduce manual development effort. •Perform proactive exploratory testing on new features, covering both happy-path and negative scenarios to identify potential issues and increase test coverage. •Demonstrate completed testing activities for sprint tickets to stakeholders and the team, ensuring alignment on progress and any potential testing gaps.

•Increase automation coverage using Playwright, Java, and Cucumber for existing manual test cases, reducing manual execution time by more than 50%. •Tracked daily scheduled CI/CD reports, ensuring higher release reliability across lower environments and production. •Defined new and reusable test cases, creating detailed documentation for each tested functionality and avoiding redundancy in the test management backlog. •Signed off ready-to-go tickets, providing the team with visibility into the scenarios covered and the bugs identified during the testing cycle. •Tested applications in an Agile environment according to the highest business priorities. •Optimized automation suites by implementing parallel execution in the CI/CD pipeline, reducing the average regression suite execution time by 40%. •Increased critical-path test automation coverage from 60% to 85% using Playwright, leading to a 50% reduction in production bugs for high-priority features.

Developed web and API automation scripts for two enterprise client projects using Playwright and RestAssured to validate critical user workflows. •Collaborated with product teams to define testing requirements and align automation strategies with user workflows and business objectives. •Provided metrics on passed and failed test scenarios, improving visibility into product risks and potential release blockers. •Defined GitHub workflows by application and testing type, sharing execution results through Slack to provide the team with visibility into the overall testing status of each application or module, improving transparency and reducing reaction time. •Provided clients and team members with non-technical test coverage documentation in Gherkin, outlining automation coverage for specific tickets and entire sprints, ensuring alignment on testing expectations.

Architected and developed a test automation framework using Selenium with Java for a legacy web application, achieving 80% regression coverage and reducing manual testing effort by around 10 hours per sprint. •Developed Postman suites covering happy-path and negative API test scenarios, which were eventually integrated into the CI/CD pipeline with the development repository, expanding unit and integration test coverage before and after deploying changes. •Defined smoke, sanity, and regression test suites for release execution, partnered with the development team to streamline bug resolution workflows, and advised business stakeholders on bug prioritization based on technical risk. •Integrated Appium into the initial automation framework, relying on Android Studio Emulator for local development. This integration reduced the time required to cover repetitive manual test scenarios by more than 50% each sprint. •Optimized existing automation suites to reduce execution time and improve code quality, decreasing regression execution time from one hour to 45 minutes or less.
