SOFTWARE TEST AUTOMATION ENGINEER

Looking for a QA engineer, test automation specialist or automated tester? Same expertise different title!

I am a senior software test automation engineer with 14 years of experience in setting up smart, scalable testing solutions. As a freelance test automation engineer, I help companies build and maintain test automation frameworks, setting up CI/CD pipelines, and training QA teams in test automation.

Whether you are looking for an automation software tester to step in temporarily, need a test automation specialist for your release process, or a freelancer automation tester to take your testing strategy to the next level - I provide customised solutions that work.

What does a Test Automation Engineer do?

A test automation engineer is responsible for setting up, maintaining and continuously improving automated test processes. Instead of testing manually every time, I develop smart scripts and robust frameworks that perform this automatically, reliably and efficiently.
As an automation test engineer, I work closely with development and DevOps teams to seamlessly integrate test automation into your team's entire CI/CD workflow - think tools like GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps and more. I think feedback to stakeholders is at least as important: by presenting test data clearly and accessibly, we make data-driven choices as well as making it easy for everyone to gain insight into product quality.
