I build test automation frameworks that pay for themselves cutting regression time from days to hours for fintech and mobile-first products. With 10 years in QA, I currently architect AI-driven mobile test automation for a digital financial services platform spanning six apps (consumer, merchant, POS, and web). My frameworks are live in production, automating everything from biometric-overlay handling to end-to-end mobile money transfers. What I deliver: 1. Mobile automation frameworks (Appium + Python/Pytest, Page Object Model, BDD/Behave) 2. Web automation (Selenium) and API test suites 3. AI-assisted test generation workflows that make frameworks self-documenting and regenerable 4. CI-ready suites with reliable locator strategies built for flaky-prone WebView and hybrid apps I've presented automation strategy to CTO-level leadership and built the business case for AI tooling adoption, so I speak both engineering and stakeholder. If you need automation that survives app updates and scales across platforms, let's talk.
