Available to hire
I’ve built Cypress automation frameworks from scratch and integrated them with CI/CD pipelines multiple times.
I have implemented a comprehensive UI & API testing framework using Cypress, integrated with GitHub Actions for CI, and created detailed documentation while onboarding the QA team.
I’m experienced with modern JavaScript/TypeScript development practices and have worked extensively with CI/CD integration across GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps. At Stage,
I delivered Playwright + TypeScript automation integrated with GitHub Actions, and I’ve consistently created test documentation and guidelines for future development across multiple contracts.
My approach focuses on scalability and maintainability—I’ve restructured automation teams to deliver scripts earlier and maximise value. I’m comfortable collaborating with development teams to ensure testing infrastructure supports ongoing needs.
I’m available for freelance work and would welcome the opportunity to discuss the engagements further.
