Paul Crisan

I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 8+ years building and scaling test-automation frameworks for high-traffic ecommerce and enterprise platforms. I specialize in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem—WebdriverIO, Cypress, Jest, and Playwright—and focus on end-to-end quality across cross-functional Agile teams. In my current role at HEITS.digital, I’ve replaced a legacy WebdriverIO/Jest stack with a Playwright/TypeScript framework spanning frontend and backend fraud-detection flows. I integrated Playwright into Harness CD to run automatically on every service deployment, using CircleCI for build feedback and Datadog dashboards/alerting—enabling same-day release confidence. Before that, at AROBS Group, I built and maintained 2,000+ automated regression and functional tests across two web products and multiple clients, including a safety-critical law-enforcement platform. I designed a Cypress automation framework to replace a flaky Protractor setup (reducing flakiness from ~25% to under 3%), introduced parallel execution (cutting full-regression runtime from 90 minutes to under 30), and consistently achieved zero critical production escapes within automated coverage scope. I also strengthen quality with deeper automation patterns—API contracts and service-level flows, accessibility checks, and visual regression using Applitools. Whether migrating frameworks or improving CI/CD feedback loops, I’m driven by measurable outcomes like cutting manual regression by ~65% and earlier defect detection through reusable component libraries.
