NEWSLETTER

From manual QA to automation engineer

I don't send on a schedule. I send when I have something to say: a technique that changed how I build test suites, a question I keep getting asked, or something I've been thinking about that has nothing to do with testing.

Unsubscribe anytime. No spam ever.

Three things you'll get.

01 - How I got there

The story of how I became an automation engineer. I was scared of programming, but I ended up teaching 100,000+ students around the world how to build tests they can trust.

02 - What's actually working

Playwright, Cypress, and AI agents paired with those frameworks. As the world accelerates, I adapt to those changes and share my findings here.

03 - The stuff that doesn't fit in a course

Career decisions, running a business, things I got wrong (and right). I recently started my private pilot lessons; I'll share my progress here as well.
