James Ryan Gaid

QA & Test Engineer · SDET · Security Enthusiast

Summary

QA engineer with ~4 years across web, API, and security-adjacent products. I build Playwright and Cypress frameworks that slot into CI, reduce regression time, and hold teams to measurable quality bars. Comfortable bridging dev and QA — writing automation, doing exploratory testing, and running triage when releases heat up.
