Most businesses don’t have an automation problem — they have a system problem. I design and build automation systems that eliminate manual work, reduce errors, and keep operations running without constant supervision. Instead of isolated automations, I focus on building reliable, scalable workflows that connect your tools and support real business processes end-to-end. 🔹 Examples of systems I’ve built: • Document processing systems (OCR → structured data → Airtable) to eliminate manual entry • Meeting-to-task automation (Fireflies → Asana → Google Docs → Slack) • Airtable-based systems for operations, inventory, and internal workflows • AI-powered workflows for content generation and data processing 🔹 What I can help you with: • Workflow automation (n8n, Zapier, Make) • Airtable systems (CRMs, operations, inventory) • Document workflows (PDF generation, data extraction, file handling) • API integrations and custom logic • AI-powered automations 🔹 How I work: I focus on building systems that are stable, scalable, and easy to maintain — not fragile automations that break after a few runs. The goal is simple: reduce operational friction, improve reliability, and give you systems that actually support growth. If you're looking to streamline your processes and automate your operations the right way, let’s talk.

💼 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
