Vetted Test Planning Professionals

“AI/ML infrastructure-focused engineer who has built production RAG systems from scratch (Supabase/pgvector + OpenAI embeddings) and iterated using formal eval metrics to improve retrieval quality. Also debugged real-time audio issues in a LiveKit-based pipeline by correlating packet loss with VAD behavior, and has deep experience building brittle, customer-specific financial platform integrations in Python/Playwright (2FA, redirects, token refresh, rate limits).”

“QA automation engineer who built and maintained a Selenium WebDriver + Java hybrid framework (data/keyword-driven) using POM, TestNG, and Maven, and integrated it into CI with PR gating and nightly regression. Strong focus on stabilizing flaky tests (wait strategies, locator robustness, test data control) and caught a critical UI/backend mismatch that could have caused duplicate money transfers before release.”

“QA automation engineer who owned and transformed a JavaScript/WebdriverIO UI automation suite into a reliable CI release gate by refactoring to POM, adding API validations, cross-browser coverage, and aggressively reducing flakiness. Demonstrated strong security mindset by uncovering a critical RBAC gap where restricted users could trigger billing actions via direct API calls, and helped reshape product requirements early through detailed acceptance-criteria questions (e.g., CSV upload partial failures).”
