Back to original languageAbout Fodé
Test automation specialist since 2018, and independent consultant since 2021, I support tech teams in implementing robust and maintainable testing strategies.
I have notably worked on critical applications in the medical sector, where reliability and compliance leave no room for error: E2E automation, API testing, integration into CI/CD pipelines, and quality industrialization across multiple teams.
My positioning: test automation that doesn't just "pass green", but detects real problems, remains readable over time, and builds confidence with every deployment.
I also specialize in AI applied to testing (assisted test case generation, accelerated writing and maintenance, best practices and limitations), a field I practice daily.
What I can bring to your team:
Implement or stabilize an automated testing suite (Playwright, Cypress)
Integrate tests into CI/CD for smooth deliveries
Reduce time spent on manual testing and regressions
And beyond missions, I train and coach your teams:
Playwright Training (from getting started to industrialization)
Cypress Training
AI applied to testing: writing and maintaining tests faster with AI, best practices and limitations
Skill development tailored to your needs (manual testing to automation, Page Object Model implementation, test suite structuring)
