13+ years in Software Testing, Test Automation, and Quality Engineering
Building maintainable automation frameworks and exploring AI-assisted quality engineering with Playwright, TypeScript, Java, API testing, and workflow automation.
I’m a Quality Engineering and Test Automation professional focused on building reliable automation, improving test effectiveness, and bringing AI-assisted practices into the QA lifecycle.
- 🎭 Modern browser automation with Playwright and TypeScript
- 🧪 Automation architecture, reusable fixtures, Page Object Model, and test strategy
- 🌐 REST API testing and UI/API integration testing
- 🤖 AI/LLM and AI-agent testing, including evaluation of non-deterministic responses
- ⚙️ Workflow automation using n8n, webhooks, and API integrations
- 🔄 CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions and Jenkins
- 🚦 Quality gates, failure analysis, and release confidence
AI-Powered Quality Engineering & Release Intelligence
A Playwright + TypeScript project focused on helping teams move beyond a simple pass/fail result and make more informed release decisions.
Project focus includes:
- Playwright + TypeScript automation
- Page Object Model and reusable fixtures
- UI, API, and hybrid API/UI testing
- Authentication and role-based test execution
- Parallel execution and GitHub Actions integration
- Test reporting, traces, screenshots, and video diagnostics
- Flaky-test investigation and AI-assisted failure analysis
- Prototype concepts for self-healing locators
- AI/LLM and agent testing
- Configurable PASS / REVIEW / BLOCK quality-gate concepts
Guiding question: Can we confidently release this build?
An n8n-based workflow for automating parts of the QA defect-triage process.
- Webhook-based bug report ingestion
- Structured QA triage
- Duplicate-bug detection
- Conditional routing for duplicate and new reports
- Mock Jira defect creation
- Postman-based API validation
- Foundation for AI Agent / LLM integration
Areas I’m exploring and evolving across my projects:
- Risk-based test selection and change-impact analysis
- AI-assisted test generation and test investigation
- Historical flaky-test analytics
- Contract and schema testing
- Event-driven / Kafka testing
- Performance and observability integration
- Advanced LLM and AI-agent evaluation
- Playwright MCP integration
- Quality dashboards and release-risk insights
| Area | Tools and Practices |
|---|---|
| UI Automation | Playwright, TypeScript, JavaScript, Selenium WebDriver |
| Frameworks & BDD | Playwright Test, Page Object Model, fixtures, Cucumber BDD, TestNG |
| API Testing | Postman, Newman, REST Assured, Playwright API testing |
| Programming | TypeScript, JavaScript, Java |
| AI & LLM Quality | AI/agent testing, hallucination checks, non-deterministic response validation, AI-assisted failure analysis |
| Workflow Automation | n8n, webhooks, API orchestration, automated defect triage |
| CI/CD & Version Control | GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Git, GitHub |
| Cloud | AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure |
| Performance Testing | JMeter |
| Quality Practices | Functional, regression, integration, API, UI, data-driven testing, test strategy, quality gates |
Automation should do more than produce a PASS / FAIL result. It should help teams understand:
- What changed?
- What did we test?
- What failed, and why?
- Is it a product, test, data, or environment issue?
- What is the risk?
- Can we confidently release?
Test Automation → Quality Engineering → Quality Intelligence → Release Confidence
I’m interested in practical ways to use AI tools to accelerate QA work while keeping engineering judgment and verification at the center.
- Generate and refine test scenarios from requirements
- Assist with automation code generation and refactoring
- Investigate failures and explore root-cause hypotheses
- Review generated code and validate assertions
- Automate repetitive QA workflows
- Evaluate AI/LLM outputs for correctness, consistency, and hallucinations
AI-generated output must still be reviewed, tested, and checked against requirements and security policies.
