These days I test an enterprise compliance platform, which means a lot of edge cases where a wrong value isn't just a bug but a regulatory problem. It's made me a bit obsessive about test design.</p> <p>What I actually do: Playwright and JS most days, Python when it fits, API testing, CI pipelines, and increasingly the messy question of how you test features that have an LLM inside them.</p> <p>What I'm building on the side:</p> <p>QA-Genius, an AI-assisted QA toolkit<br> APITrek, a small API testing tool<br> A self-healing selector layer for Playwright, because I got tired of fixing the same broken locators every sprint</p> <p>Everything's on GitHub.</p> <p>What I'm learning: agentic AI quality engineering (evals, prompt regression testing) and working through a penetration testing track.</p> <p>What I'll write about here: practical Playwright patterns, testing LLM-powered features without losing your mind, and lessons from QA in regulated software. </p> <p>Looking to connect with: other QA and SDET folks, anyone testing AI features in production, and people who've made the move to working internationally in QA.</p> <p>If any of that overlaps with you, say hi in the comments — I'll read every one.</p> introduction testing qa career
