QA automation and AI tooling by day. Web3 grants, side projects, and token experiments by night.

Professional Work

QA Automation Program

2024–present

Building a Playwright-based automation program at MedLive — coverage tied to measurable objectives, a stub-first workflow so features ship with tests, and regression backfill after production incidents. Currently at 600+ automated test cases.

AI Tooling for QA & Support

2025–present

Designing Claude-powered agent skills that automate QA and support workflows: ticket triage, generating Playwright tests from tickets, release-candidate verification, and automated reporting — taking repetitive load off a lean team.
