I am a QA Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience in test automation, performance testing, and CI/CD integration. I design robust automation frameworks using Cypress, Playwright, and TypeScript for web and API testing, and I work with GitLab CI/CD, JMeter, and Grafana to ensure high test coverage, system reliability, and clear performance visibility. I am known for improving test efficiency, reducing production defects, and proactively collaborating with development teams to enhance product quality. In my recent roles, I designed automation from scratch for web platforms and REST APIs, integrated pipelines into CI/CD that cut manual verification time and improved release stability, and performed performance optimization that boosted API response times and throughput. I enjoy tackling complex testing challenges and delivering reliable software that users trust.

Work Experience

QA Automation Engineer at Deviniti Sp. z o.o
May 1, 2024 - Present
Designed and implemented two automation frameworks from scratch for internal and client-facing projects (web platforms and REST APIs). Used Cypress, Playwright, and TypeScript to cover E2E, integration, and smoke scenarios, achieving over 70% test coverage across major features. Integrated automated pipelines with Gitlab CI/CD, embedding them into the CI/CD flow, which reduced manual deployment verification time by 70% and improved release stability. Implemented automated regression suites for redesigned UI components, cutting manual testing efforts by 60% and reducing production defects by 40%. Developed additional Playwright E2E test suites for legacy web modules, increasing overall automation stability by 30% and ensuring consistent quality across Deviniti’s client portfolio. Performed performance testing of backend endpoints using JMeter scripts, identifying bottlenecks in database queries that caused high response latency under load. After collaborating with developers to add pr
QA Engineer at TestArmy Group (a.s.)
August 1, 2021 - April 1, 2024
Participated in a FinTech client project, focusing on automation of the Back Office platform used by financial advisors. Designed and maintained automated test suites for both frontend and backend, which improved testing coverage and reduced regression defects by 35%. Utilized Cypress and Postman to validate REST APIs and complex user workflows, leading to a 20% decrease in production incidents and a more stable release process. Built Grafana dashboards using data from different sources to visualize system performance, enabling the team to identify bottlenecks and react proactively to issues. Performed cross-platform testing of web and mobile applications using BrowserStack, ensuring compatibility and consistent performance across Android and iOS devices. Contributed to creating internal QA documentation and reusable Cypress utilities, improving test development efficiency across the team.
