About Me

Who I Am

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer with over 8 years of experience building and maintaining automated testing solutions for complex web-based and backend systems, primarily in the financial domain.

My work combines test automation, API testing, and continuous improvement of software quality practices. I have hands-on experience with Java, Selenium, TypeScript, and Playwright, and I am increasingly focused on applying AI to make testing workflows more efficient, reliable, and maintainable.

I explore how AI agents can support the entire testing lifecycle — from test design and implementation to failure analysis, refactoring, and quality evaluation. For me, the real value of AI in testing is not simply generating more tests, but ensuring that their results are correct, meaningful, maintainable, and aligned with business requirements.

I am particularly interested in test automation architecture, AI-driven Quality Engineering, and the engineering principles needed to build trustworthy automation systems.

My goal is to bridge traditional test automation and AI engineering, helping teams deliver software with greater confidence, better feedback loops, and sustainable quality practices.

Hands-on today

Java, Selenium, TypeScript and Playwright for UI and API test automation, including SOAP/REST services.

Financial domain

Testing critical financial systems for Euronext (Norwegian Stock Exchange) since 2019, where data integrity and reliability matter.

Where I am heading

Developing towards test automation architecture, AI engineering and multi-agent testing workflows, software architecture and application security.

Selected Projects

Three areas where I apply an engineering approach to quality. These are case-study outlines: verified details such as results and public links are added only when they can be shared, and client-specific information is intentionally left out.

Case study in progress

AI-Driven Test Automation

Exploring how AI agents can support the testing lifecycle — from test design to implementation, refactoring and review — while keeping the output trustworthy.

Problem
AI can generate test code quickly, but generated tests are only valuable if they are correct, meaningful, maintainable and aligned with business requirements.
My role
Applying AI-assisted testing in a financial-domain project: using GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT and Playwright MCP to improve how tests are designed, written and maintained, and checking that the generated output is correct and useful.
Technical approach
  • AI-assisted test planning and generation
  • Multi-agent orchestration
  • Test implementation and refactoring
  • Automated review and quality evaluation
Engineering challenges
The challenge is not generating test code, but validating the quality and usefulness of the output — and keeping AI-generated tests reliable and maintainable.

Case study in progress

Reliable API & E2E Testing

API and end-to-end automation designed to give fast, meaningful and trustworthy feedback in CI/CD.

Problem
Unreliable suites erode trust: flaky tests and false positives hide real defects and waste time on investigation.
My role
Responsible for SOAP/REST API testing and for building and maintaining Selenium-based Java test frameworks, plus Playwright and TypeScript automation. I analyse failures using Splunk logs and work with the CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, OpenShift).
Technical approach
  • API validation alongside end-to-end automation
  • Failure analysis, including log analysis
  • CI/CD integration for regular, automated execution
  • Reducing flaky tests and false positives
Engineering challenges
Making failures meaningful: telling a real defect from an unstable test or environment, while keeping the suite maintainable as the system grows.

Learning project · Planned

Quality & Security by Design

A technical exploration of how to handle AI-generated code and automation workflows securely. This is a development direction, not a delivered implementation.

Problem
AI-generated code and agent-driven automation introduce new risks: untrusted code execution, vulnerable dependencies, over-broad permissions and leaked secrets.
My role
Self-directed learning and exploration. No production implementation yet.
Planned approach
  • Isolated execution environments for generated code
  • Dependency and code analysis
  • Least-privilege permissions and secret management
  • Security gates in automated workflows
Engineering challenges
To be defined as the project progresses.
Results
None yet — nothing is claimed until there is a real implementation to demonstrate.
Technologies
To be decided.
