About

Professional summary

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer and SDET with more than five years of experience across the full software testing lifecycle in Agile, cross-functional environments. I specialize in building scalable automation solutions that improve product quality, test coverage, and delivery speed.

I design and maintain automated test frameworks using Python, Java, and TypeScript. My hands-on experience includes Playwright, Selenium WebDriver, Robot Framework, Cucumber BDD, TestNG, and JUnit for UI, API, integration, and regression testing.

I have strong experience validating REST and WebSocket APIs in microservice architectures using REST Assured, Postman, and JMeter. I focus on robust contract validation, structured test strategy, test data management, and root-cause analysis to prevent recurring defects.

I integrate automated quality checks into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, TeamCity, Docker, Git, Maven, and related tools. I have helped teams reduce regression execution time, accelerate defect detection, and establish quality gates and actionable reporting dashboards.

I collaborate closely with developers, business analysts, and product owners to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and maintain traceability from requirements through testing to defect resolution. I also mentor engineers in automation practices and apply AI-assisted development tools responsibly to improve productivity.

I am based in Gothenburg, Sweden, available immediately, and currently completing a Master of Science in AI and Automation. I am a Sun Certified Java Programmer and am seeking senior QA automation and SDET opportunities.
