Identify technical debt, automation gaps, scalability concerns, and maintainability challenges.
Define the target-state Playwright automation architecture and implementation roadmap.
Design scalable and reusable frameworks using Page Object Model, fixtures, utilities, and common components.
Define coding standards, test-data approaches, reporting, framework governance, and best practices.
Establish approaches for parallel execution, cross-browser testing, CI/CD integration, synchronization, and flaky-test management.
Actively write, review, debug, and optimize Playwright/TypeScript automation code.
Solve complex automation challenges involving locators, dynamic UI elements, waits, browser contexts, assertions, and end-to-end workflows.
Lead technical discussions and code reviews across onsite and offshore teams.
Mentor the automation team and ensure consistent implementation of the target architecture.
