“If something can be automated, I’ll automate it.”
Automation enthusiast · Go adventurer · Cloud, CI/CD & Observability explorer
ISTQB® Certified (CTFL v4.0) · Preparing for Automation Engineering certification
Application Analyst & QA Automation Engineer focusing on test-automation, backend QA tooling, process automation, and observability.
I build internal tools that speed up QA, improve reliability, and provide technical visibility across streaming platforms.
- Playwright tests for operator OTT boxes (Free, Orange, Vodafone…) & Web platforms
- Robot Framework with Selenium (web) + Appium (mobile), fully Dockerized
- Python tools to migrate legacy test systems (ReferTest → Squash)
- Developer of Proxy Alchemist — Go-based MITM proxy for VAST/VMAP ad traffic
- Request inspection, wrapper tracking, pixel analysis, AdTagURI rewriting
- Structured logging with IDs (vmap_uid, vast_uid, ad_uid, trk_uid)
- Complete New Relic instrumentation (custom events, timings, traces)
- Airtable JS/TS automations for QA orchestration
- n8n workflows generating test cases, release summaries, PO notifications
- Airtable ↔ Target Process sync API for automated bug management
- S3 for structured proxy logs
- IAM roles with least-privilege access
- Glue + Athena for querying ad logs via SQL
- Superset dashboards for analytics across QA, Product, and AdTech teams
- Multi-stage Docker builds for proxy and automation stacks
- K8s deployment with Ingress, probes, ConfigMaps, Secrets
- GitHub Actions pipelines: lint, race tests, builds, Docker image pushes, deployments
- S3 buckets, IAM roles, Glue schemas, K8s manifests (Helm)
- Custom telemetry for wrapper depth, timings, ad paths, pixel results
- Correlation via hierarchical tracking IDs
- Request-level tracing across proxy flows

| Tech | How I Learned It |
|---|---|
| Go | Building Proxy Alchemist (MITM proxy, rewriting engine, concurrency) |
| Playwright | Automating OTT operator boxes & Web platforms in CI workflows |
| Robot Framework | Creating Docker-based web/mobile test grids |
| Airtable | Designing workflows, JS/TS automations, QA dashboards |
| n8n | Automating QA processes and PO-facing flows |
| AWS | Building the log pipeline (S3 → Glue → Athena → Superset) |
| Kubernetes | Deploying proxy with ingress, routing & secrets |
| Terraform | Managing infra around the proxy deployment |
My GitHub hosts small public projects showing parts of my work with:
- Go basics
- Automation tooling
- Infrastructure experiments
My largest and most complex projects are internal at Bedrock Streaming.
- Improving automation workflows and test coverage for ads, QA & OTT flows
- Expanding Proxy Alchemist (rewriting engine, observability, performance)
- Advanced test automation patterns (Playwright/Robot hybrid strategies)
- Go architecture (concurrency, tracing, clean modular design)
- Cloud & DevOps (Terraform modules, Kubernetes internals, AWS patterns)
- Preparing for ISTQB Advanced / Test Automation Engineer certification
- Automation frameworks
- Go tooling
- Developer/QA productivity tools
- QA automation (Playwright, Robot Framework)
- Go for tooling / MITM proxies
- Workflow automation (Airtable, n8n)
- Ads troubleshooting (VAST/VMAP, pixels, wrappers)
