QA engineer with 6+ years of manual and automation testing experience across SaaS, web, mobile, and API-driven products. I help teams ship with confidence by finding the issues that matter, building test automation that's actually maintainable, and communicating clearly about what's working and what isn't. Core skills: Playwright and Selenium for E2E automation, Postman and Swagger for API testing, SQL for backend validation, and Jira/TestRail/Xray for test management. I've built automation frameworks from scratch at two companies, including one that cut regression time by 40%, and I currently maintain a public Playwright framework covering E2E, API and visual regression testing with CI/CD in GitHub Actions. Recent and current work: - Built and maintained a Playwright (JavaScript) test suite for a SaaS platform, including Stripe checkout flows, authentication, and visual regression, running in GitHub Actions - 4 years testing an enterprise security/compliance platform (LogPoint), covering release cycles, security patches, API validation and SQL-backed regression testing - Built Selenium and Appium automation for a logistics SaaS platform (FleetPanda), reducing sprint regression time by 40% - Freelance manual and exploratory testing for small SaaS clients, including test documentation and Postman-based API testing I think like a user, prioritise high-impact testing over box-ticking, and I'm comfortable working directly with developers on root cause analysis rather than just filing tickets and moving on. Clear, fluent English communication and reliable delivery on agreed timelines.

Hi, I’m Toby 👋 - I have automated customer onboarding/sales that generated $97,000+ for a web3 company - Saved $5000 per month for a Hollywood Action Director with a custom dashboard/automating his shot-listing process I also help businesses launch websites that actually convert visitors into customers. I do this with cutting-edge tools (like React, Next.js, N8N, Python, AI Models like GPT-5) — Oh hey! This is the longer version about me if you have 36 seconds! Great to meet you, I’m still Toby! And I have been automating workflows, building systems and designing web interfaces since I could solve a rubiks cube - with tools like (React, Next.js, N8N, Python, AI Models Like GPT-5, Claude and Gemini all backed with 5+ years as a freelance software engineer) I’ve built and helped numerous companies get back 5-20 hours per week, generate over ninety seven thousand dollars in revenue and launched dozens of websites for clients from Construction to Crypto. Some career highlights so far: Generated over $97k in revenue within two weeks for a Web3 Company through strategic digital initiatives. Saved 5–10 hours per week for the 2nd Unit Director on the TV show Spartacus by streamlining the shot listing process. Achieved 1.5 million views on a YouTube channel with fewer than 500 subscribers in just four days organically. My focus is on helping businesses work smarter, not harder — automating what can be automated, and giving people back time to focus on what really matters. I deliver high-quality builds and pride myself on brilliant communication every step of the way. Whether it be for a day, a week or for life! I can’t wait to work with you!

Hey, I'm Ocean. I build Claude-powered automation for service businesses. My last three projects surfaced $300K+ in recoverable value. →🔍 I built a Claude financial system for a $470K service firm that surfaced $144K in value →📊 I ran an AI audit for a $25M distribution company and identified over $162K in value →🚀 I consulted a $3.7M YC-backed startup on their position in the $11B autonomous AI agent market The thread across all three: I don't ship clever automations, I ship systems that survive a real production environment. If you're a service business losing time to outbound, admin, or back-office drag, that's the gap I close.
