I specialize in QA automation and software quality engineering for teams that need speed without sacrificing confidence.
TM
Tony Mak
Senior SDET | QA Automation Engineer
I build scalable test automation, improve release confidence, and help teams ship with quality.
I specialize in robust UI automation, API testing, CI/CD quality gates, maintainable automation frameworks, and visual validation pipelines that keep releases reliable as systems scale.
About
Driving software quality through scalable automation.
I build quality systems that help product teams move faster with confidence.
My focus is building maintainable, scalable automation frameworks that increase test coverage, improve reliability, and reduce release risk over time.
I work across UI, API, integration, and CI/CD workflows, and I bring additional experience in visual and 3D validation where rendering accuracy is business-critical.

Experience
Impact-focused QA leadership.
Highlights of how I improve engineering outcomes, not just test counts.
Automation Framework Development
Reduced maintenance overhead and increased test speed.
Designed reusable test architecture and standards that improved reliability across multiple product surfaces.
CI/CD Quality Integration
Shifted quality checks earlier in the delivery lifecycle.
Embedded automation and quality gates directly into pipelines to catch regressions before production.
Test Coverage & Reliability Improvements
Raised release confidence for cross-functional teams.
Expanded coverage across UI, API, and integration layers with risk-focused prioritization strategies.
QA Leadership & Mentorship
Improved delivery consistency across teams.
Mentored engineers on automation best practices, review processes, and quality ownership habits.
Visual / 3D Validation Work
Prevented high-impact visual regressions before release.
Built validation approaches for visual and 3D rendering behavior where precision and consistency are critical.
