Test Automation Architect & AI Developer
Bucharest, Romania
Română · English
Test Automation Architect & AI Developer with 8+ years across web, API and performance — currently at Deutsche Bank. I build automation ecosystems in Java and TypeScript, and ship autonomous AI agents that wire into them.
Frameworks aren't just tests anymore. They're software — and increasingly, they have teammates.

§ III
About the subject.
01
Frameworks as engineered software.
I build multi-stack automation ecosystems in Java (Selenium, RestAssured, Spring Boot) and TypeScript (Playwright, Cypress, WebdriverIO) — modular, maintainable, wired into CI/CD from day one.
02
AI as a build target, not a buzzword.
I design autonomous agents and multi-agent systems (orchestrator + subagent architectures) on the Claude Code SDK and OpenAI SDK, and treat MCP servers as first-class extension surfaces.
03
Where QA meets AI-native development.
My work bridges traditional software quality engineering with agentic workflows — turning complex engineering and QA pipelines into systems that self-orchestrate end-to-end.
§ IV
A working ledger.
Architected two automation frameworks from scratch — Java/Spring Boot/Selenium and TypeScript/Playwright — both wired into CI/CD with OracleSQL integration and performance testing layered on top.
- Designed and built a Java/Spring Boot/Selenium/Cucumber/RestAssured automation framework from scratch covering front-end and backend with OracleSQL integration, wired into TeamCity CI/CD pipelines for smoke and regression suites.
- Designed and built a TypeScript/Playwright automation framework from scratch covering front-end, GraphQL APIs, and OracleSQL integration, with GitHub Actions + Google Cloud pipelines for smoke and regression suites.
- Developed performance test suites using JMeter and K6.
- Defined the team's automation strategy and continuously evolved the framework architecture.
- Performed code reviews on other engineers' automated tests and mentored junior automation engineers.
- Participated in Agile ceremonies (daily scrum, grooming, planning) and contributed to release-readiness decisions.
