QA Automation Engineer (SDET)
I design and implement structured automation systems for modern web applications. At Wirk, I built and maintained a Cypress end to end suite covering critical user flows, increasing regression coverage from 0% to ~80% of priority workflows while improving release confidence and test reliability. My background in independent software development strengthened my system architecture thinking, edge case analysis, and debugging depth - Directly applied to building maintainable, scalable test systems. Focused on early stage startups building their first structured QA systems.
