Back to original languageAbout Erik
Senior QA Automation Engineer with over 10 years of experience building test frameworks from scratch, leading automation projects, and ensuring reliable software quality in web and SaaS products.
My focus is on Playwright and Cypress-based end-to-end test automation and integration into CI/CD pipelines — helping teams move from zero test coverage to a robust, maintainable automation solution. I also work with BDD approaches and Cucumber upon request.
What I deliver:
- Building E2E test frameworks (Playwright / Cypress) from scratch
- CI/CD integration (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
- Test architecture consulting and code reviews
- Onboarding and knowledge transfer for QA teams
- BDD test suite design with Cucumber (optional, depending on project needs)
- Utilizing AI/ML tools for optimizing test processes and quality assurance
I also work as a Cybersecurity Specialist at SICK Sensor Intelligence — a rare combination that brings both quality and security thinking to every project.
Fluent in German, English, and Ukrainian — Russian at native level.
Location: Freiburg im Breisgau — fully remote capable.
