About Jon

✅ 5+ years in QA & E2E/API test automation

I help product and engineering teams make their releases reliable through robust, maintainable E2E & API tests integrated into CI/CD pipelines.

My goal: reduce regressions, secure critical user journeys, and provide teams with reliable feedback before each production deployment.

⚡ WHAT I CAN HANDLE

→ Automated E2E Tests
Creation or redesign of Playwright/Cypress suites with TypeScript, focused on critical user journeys.

→ API & Regression Tests
REST/API tests with Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI, or Playwright API, smoke tests, and key flow validation.

→ Stabilization of Existing Suites
Reduction of flaky tests, improvement of test data, refactoring of unstable scenarios, and more readable reporting.

→ CI/CD Integration
Connecting tests in GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps with actionable feedback on PRs.

→ QA Strategy
Coverage audit, risk-based prioritization, quality gates, documentation, and skill transfer.

🛠️ STACK

Testing: Playwright, Cypress, Jest, Vitest, Cucumber/Gherkin, Selenium
API: Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI, REST, SQL
CI/CD: GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps
Dev/Tools: TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Angular, Node.js, Jira, Xray, Docker, Git

✅ WHY ME

- Developer Background: I understand code, PRs, and technical constraints.
- Pragmatic Approach: I prioritize tests that truly reduce product risk.
- CI/CD Culture: Tests should accelerate delivery, not slow down the team.
- Autonomy: Audit, scoping, implementation, documentation, and clear reporting.

📩 Send me your stack and your current QA situation. I'll respond within 24 hours with an initial assessment of risks and areas for improvement.
