Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support companies in the DACH region in setting up modern QA and test automation processes – with a focus on Playwright, Continuous Testing, and scalable quality assurance in agile development environments.

My focus is on integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, optimizing existing QA processes, and the technical coordination of QA initiatives in complex software projects.

I combine strategic QA know-how with hands-on technical experience in Playwright, Jira/Xray, GitLab CI/CD, and API testing. Especially in agile product teams, I help to make releases more stable, transparent, and efficient.
