01 — About

Quality is a design decision, not a final check.

I'm a QA Automation Engineer who builds testing systems that teams actually trust — frameworks that are readable, maintainable, and fast enough to run on every commit.

My work centers on Python-based automation: pytest for API and unit-level coverage, Robot Framework for keyword-driven acceptance tests that non-engineers can read and extend. I'm as comfortable defining a test strategy from scratch as I am untangling a flaky suite nobody wants to touch.

Outside of test runs, I'm usually deep in a new tool, refining a CI pipeline, or figuring out how to make the next suite easier to maintain than the last.

Test suites

UI Regression Suite — SauceDemo (Swag Labs)

passed

A keyword-driven Robot Framework suite covering the full SauceDemo shopper journey: login across all six user types (including locked-out and problem-user edge cases), product sort/filter, cart operations, and checkout. A shared keyword library keeps individual test files short and readable by non-engineers.

API Test Suite — Restful-Booker

passed

A pytest suite treating the Restful-Booker API like production: every response validated against a JSON schema, not just status codes. Covers full booking CRUD, auth token handling (including expiry/invalid-token cases), and negative testing with data-driven parametrization across booking payloads.
