💼 SDET | Playwright & Cypress Automation Engineer Systems Engineer, 6 years in test automation and software development. I've worked across the full QA stack — E2E automation, performance testing, BDD, and some frontend too. Right now I'm a Senior Test Automation Engineer at Globant, embedded in a product team where I'm building an E2E framework with Cypress from scratch. That means defining the architecture, setting up the folder structure, writing the base utilities, and onboarding the team to the patterns as we go. Outside of that, most of my automation work has been with Playwright and Python — Playwright for E2E coverage, Python for custom validators and anything that needs real logic behind it. I also have solid experience with Selenium, WebDriverIO, Postman, and JMeter. BDD is a big part of how I work. I write Gherkin scenarios and push for test planning before development starts, not after. It saves a lot of back-and-forth later. I know React JS and modern JavaScript too — I keep unit coverage above 80% and follow SOLID/DRY where it actually helps, not just on paper. One result I'm proud of: cut regression time by 40% at a previous company by automating manual validations and moving testing earlier in the cycle. 💬 Open to automation projects, QA strategy work, or building test infrastructure from the ground up. #QAAutomation #BDD #Playwright #Gherkin #WebDriverIO #Cypress #React #JavaScript #Python #SoftwareTesting #TDD #SOLID #Agile #ShiftLeft #TestAutomation #QualityEngineering

Hi, I'm William Astudillo 👋 I’ve built automation systems that process millions of transactions for $100B+ companies. I specialize in n8n workflows and advanced data scraping that eliminate manual work and drive operational efficiency. 🚀 My background involves custom automations where reliability and data accuracy are non-negotiable: 📦 Data Extraction & Workflow Automation: I architect robust scrapers and automated pipelines that extract, clean, and enrich data from complex sources to optimize business operations. 🏢 MercadoLibre ($100B+ Market Cap): Engineered automated data pipelines for their 'Clips' video product, handling high-volume content ingestion and metadata processing via backend microservices. 🏦 Major Financial Institution ($50B+ Assets): Built secure transaction logic and API integrations, ensuring zero-error processing for sensitive financial data. 🏪 7-Eleven ($80B+ Revenue): Optimized real-time data flow and order fulfillment systems, synchronizing critical information between mobile apps and inventory. I turn repetitive manual tasks into intelligent automated systems using n8n, AI (OpenAI/Claude), and advanced scraping techniques. 🤖 Whether it's building custom AI agents, connecting 10+ tools via API, or automating high-scale data extraction, I deliver solutions that scale. 📈 If you need advanced API connections, custom web scrapers, or AI agents that automate your business processes, let's talk. 💬

I build web and mobile apps that actually ship — and the AI agents and automations that make them smarter. From a FlutterFlow MVP to a full custom platform with an AI assistant built in, I take projects from idea to launch. What I can do for you: 🔹 Web & mobile apps — Cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter and FlutterFlow, and web apps with React front-ends and Python (FastAPI) back-ends. MVPs, custom platforms, internal tools, and App Store / Google Play launches. 🔹 AI agents & chatbots — Assistants that actually help your users: RAG architectures over your own data, LLM-powered agents that answer questions, guide users through your product, and support AI-assisted decision-making inside your app. 🔹 Automation — Workflow and process automation with n8n and Power Platform: lead funnels, onboarding flows, multi-level approval workflows, and back-office processes that save your team hours every week. 🔹 Backend & integrations — Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, and Docker deployments. Clean, scalable, and maintainable — not just something that works on my machine. Recent work: A custom LMS platform for a U.S. nonprofit academy (technical training + English learning for their community). A wellbeing / guided-meditation mobile app, built in Flutter and launching on the App Store and Google Play. A user-facing AI assistant integrated into a fintech (open-banking) app to help users get the most out of the product. Automated lead funnels in n8n that increased the volume of leads processed and closed for a company's sales team. How I work: I start by understanding the real business need and the end user — then design the right architecture, not the trendiest one. You get clear communication, working software, and something you can actually maintain and grow. Tech: Flutter · FlutterFlow · Dart · Python · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · React · REST APIs · n8n · RAG / LLM agents · Docker Before software, I spent 10+ years in project engineering — which means I care about processes, metrics, and building things that hold up under real use. Send me a message with a few details about your project, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit and how I'd approach it.

I build production firmware for low-power, connected devices, and I ship it. Over the past 9 years I've delivered embedded software for consumer, health, and industrial IoT products on Nordic nRF, STM32, and ESP32, with a focus on BLE, OTA updates, and battery life. If your device needs to be wireless, reliable, frugal with power, and updatable in the field, that's my core work: • BLE connectivity: GATT, pairing/bonding, NUS, beacons, plus Wi-Fi and cellular (nRF91/LTE) • OTA/DFU update flows and bootloaders • Low-power design against real battery-life targets • Sensor and peripheral bring-up from datasheets (SPI, I2C, UART, ADC/DAC) • RTOS firmware (Zephyr, FreeRTOS) and bare-metal C/C++ A few results from shipped products: • Extended a device's battery life from ~6 to ~12 months with an adaptive BLE advertising algorithm • Cut a system's annual operating cost from $24,000 to $1,400 with firmware for industrial tracking • Reduced QA feedback time from 4 hours to 1 hour by automating the build/release pipeline (CI/CD) I'm a Zephyr Technical Contributor, and I've shipped firmware for consumer smart-home devices, a smart-cooking product line, and a BLE medical device scanner. Platforms & tools: Nordic nRF52/nRF91 (BLE 5 + LTE), STM32 (Cortex-M), ESP32/ESP8266, Particle (Photon/Electron), PIC, Teensy, Raspberry Pi; nRF Connect SDK/Zephyr, ESP-IDF, Mbed, STM32Cube, Keil, SEGGER; BLE/Wi-Fi/LoRaWAN/Z-Wave/Matter/MQTT, AWS IoT; C/C++, Python. I work well async: I scope independently, document decisions, back deliveries with tests, and communicate clearly in English. Tell me about your device and where the firmware needs to get to, and I'll tell you how I'd approach it.
