I specialize in test automation, regression optimization, and quality assurance processes that help teams release with confidence. I have hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, Jenkins, Python, SQL, Postman, REST Assured, TestNG, Cucumber, and BDD practices. I have built maintainable automation frameworks from scratch and integrated them into CI/CD pipelines to improve execution speed and feedback cycles. In my recent role, I owned end-to-end QA for multiple GM brands and helped reduce manual regression effort while increasing automation coverage. I also mentored junior QA engineers and worked closely with Product Owners to define test specifications, acceptance criteria, and release readiness. My background includes regulated healthcare testing as well, where I worked on manual and automation testing, traceability, and defect management. I am comfortable working across smoke, functional, UAT, API, and shift-left risk-based testing activities. I am ISTQB CTFL certified and have a strong foundation in Agile and Scrum environments. I value clear communication, structured testing, and practical solutions that improve product quality and team efficiency. I am based in Dresden, Germany, available immediately, and open to opportunities where I can contribute as a QA Engineer or Test Automation specialist. I work confidently in English and German and bring a proactive, detail-oriented approach to quality engineering.
