init-playwright.sh

Playwright / Cypress from scratch

I design frameworks your team can own: fixtures, page objects, and reporting that survive the second team using them.

wire-ci.sh

CI that does not lie

Merge queues, sharding, and flake quarantine so a green build means something again.

train.sh

Training that sticks

Workshops and pairing so the framework does not become a consultant-shaped bottleneck.

Tell me about flake, pipeline time, or the framework nobody wants to own. I will tell you if I am the right person.
