Work & experience

Aviation · Senior Test Automation Engineer · 2023–2025 · Remote

Two aviation projects. Different architectures. Automation built from scratch.

At Indra Avitech, I developed functional and performance test frameworks for EUROCONTROL iNM, covering UI, REST/SOAP APIs and load testing with Python, Playwright and Locust. For FF-ICE, I designed a separate BDD automation framework for distributed messaging, validating AMQP flows and PostgreSQL persistence across multiple configurations.

EUROCONTROL iNM Flight-planning platform

• Led the test automation strategy for a European flight-planning platform, designing and building functional automation frameworks from scratch for UI, REST API and SOAP service testing.
• Developed a separate Python and Locust performance testing framework to evaluate system behaviour under load and stress.
• Automated complex flight-plan submission, processing and distribution scenarios that were impractical to validate comprehensively by hand.
• Established reusable automation practices, test management processes and requirements traceability, working with QA, Development, DevOps and Product.

FF-ICE Distributed aviation integration system

• Strategy and framework designed from scratch. Nothing inherited, every convention chosen.
• Tests operate at message level: they publish to and consume from AMQP, as the real integrations do.
• Outcomes are verified against persisted state in PostgreSQL, beneath the messaging layer.
• One suite runs against multiple deployment configurations in Jenkins CI, on Kubernetes/OKD environments, with Allure reporting for failure investigation.

Feature: Flight plan submission
  Scenario: Filed plan is acknowledged
    Given a valid flight plan is published to the broker
    When  the system processes the message
    Then  an acknowledgement is returned
    And   the plan state is persisted

Enterprise · Senior QA Engineer · 2025–present · Remote

Quality engineering for an enterprise content-governance platform.

A large administration and governance platform with long, stateful user workflows. My work spans TypeScript and Playwright automation, GraphQL API testing, a multi-environment automation architecture, CI/CD integration and AI-assisted testing workflows.

• Complex administrative and governance workflows automated end to end in Playwright and TypeScript, alongside integration scenarios, health checks and selected performance validations.
• GraphQL API tests run beneath the UI, so failures point at the right layer.
• A multi-environment architecture: the same suite targets each environment, with Page Object Models, reusable service layers, automated test data and unattended enterprise authentication.
• Automation integrated into GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines with staged execution, parallel runs and consolidated reporting. Embedding it in the team’s workflow supported a weekly release cadence, compared with the monthly cadence of other teams in the department.
• AI-assisted QA workflows with coding agents, Playwright MCP and Azure DevOps integrations, used for test authoring, debugging, root-cause analysis and reporting, with human review kept in the loop.

Moonfare and Billie

Moonfare SDET / Full-stack Software Developer · 2021–2023 · Berlin

• Part of the engineering team that built the company’s public API from scratch, working across backend development, integration testing and automated quality assurance.
• Designed and developed test automation frameworks covering REST APIs, user interfaces, integration scenarios and performance testing.
• Introduced automation approaches and quality practices that other internal teams went on to adopt.
• Built integration and regression coverage that found cross-system defects missed by other feature teams, and contributed to backend and internal tooling, code reviews and mentoring.

Billie QA Engineer / Test Automation · 2018–2021 · Berlin

• Designed and built an automated testing framework for the company’s ordering workflows, replacing a regression process that had relied on manual execution.
• Cut regression testing time by about 50%, speeding up feedback and supporting more efficient delivery.
• Reduced production defect escapes by catching ordering-flow regressions and business-rule failures earlier.
• Expanded API and UI automation coverage and helped establish more structured testing processes in the team.
