About Me

QA Automation Engineer at Arbisoft with 2+ years of experience building automation frameworks, scraping systems, and CI/CD pipelines across web and mobile platforms. I work in TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python using Playwright, Cypress, WebdriverIO, Selenium, and Appium.

I don't just write tests — I design the architecture. I've built abstraction wrappers that made framework migrations a single-file change, consolidated 23 payer integrations under one system in 2 weeks, and written custom anti-detection scripts that bypassed AWS CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, and reCAPTCHA. I treat automation as an engineering problem, not a scripting task.

Bachelor's in Computer Engineering from UET Lahore. Open source contributor to the WebdriverIO repository.

Featured Projects

Framework Abstraction Wrapper

Framework Abstraction Wrapper

Designed a wrapper layer over Cypress enabling zero-touch framework migration to Playwright. Adopted by multiple Arbisoft projects. Single-file update replaces the underlying framework across the entire repo.

Cypress Playwright TypeScript Design Patterns
Anti-Detection Scraping Engine

Anti-Detection Scraping Engine

Custom bot engine with navigator mocking, dummy extension injection, rotating residential proxies, and Patchright stealth integration. Bypassed AWS CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, and reCAPTCHA v2/v3 across multiple production sites.

Playwright Puppeteer TypeScript Patchright
WebDriverIO Cross-Platform Framework

WebDriverIO Cross-Platform Framework

Enterprise-grade automation framework using factory pattern to unify Android, iOS, and web test configurations. Parallel execution via Selenium Grid. Allure reporting with CI/CD integration.

WebDriverIO TypeScript Appium Selenium Grid
Swag Labs Testing Framework

Swag Labs Testing Framework

Comprehensive test automation framework using Python and Playwright with Page Object Model, parallel execution, Allure reporting, and GitHub Actions CI/CD integration.

Professional Experience

Software Engineer

Arbisoft June 2024 – Present
  • Consolidated 23 separate payer integrations under a single bot ID to eliminate session conflicts — refactored and merged all common files within a 2-week deadline including weekend work. Received public recognition and compensatory leave from Team Lead.
  • Built custom anti-detection scripts to bypass AWS CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, and reCAPTCHA v2/v3 — iterating through random mouse movements, rotating residential proxies, Patchright stealth fork, and finally custom navigator mocking with dummy browser extensions.
  • Designed a state-based password management system to handle credential rotation across active bots — managed thousands of credentials without a single account getting flagged or banned.
  • Resolved async-sync iteration problem under strict client constraint (no loops allowed) by implementing async library's mapSeries and eachSeries for reliable sequential scraping flows.
  • Proposed and architected a FastAPI microservice in Python for PDF data extraction using factory pattern — chosen over Node.js due to superior Python library support for PDF parsing.
  • Established PR review and creation checklists, enforced TypeScript coding standards across the team (prefer find over filter+[0], use unknown over any). Adopted across projects.
  • Built an Outline VPN client clone in Python using ShadowSocks proxy to resolve macOS compatibility issues blocking team access to geo-restricted scraping targets.

Jr. Software Engineer — Test Automation

Arbisoft May 2023 – June 2024
  • Designed and built a framework abstraction wrapper over Cypress — entire codebase depended on one interface, not the framework directly. Migration to Playwright required changing only the wrapper. Pattern adopted by multiple Arbisoft projects including Appium-to-WebdriverIO migrations.
  • Solved a dynamic recursive Q&A automation problem where question count and paths varied based on user choices — implemented recursive traversal to handle variable-depth flows with no fixed loop structure.
  • Built cross-platform automation framework using WebdriverIO with factory pattern to unify Android, iOS, and web configurations — minimized duplication while maintaining platform-specific flexibility.
  • Established and managed local Appium + Selenium Grid infrastructure for parallel distributed test execution across mobile and web targets.
  • Onboarded and mentored teammates on WebdriverIO and Selenium Grid — led internal knowledge-sharing sessions on framework setup, parallel execution, and best practices.
  • Contributed to bringing the Zuub project to Arbisoft — helped establish quality standards and automation infrastructure from the ground up.

Jr. Software Engineer

Ginkgo Retail August 2022 – May 2023
  • Developed and maintained responsive web applications using React and Django, ensuring optimal performance across devices.
  • Built a Learning Management System during internship — contributed across the full-stack development lifecycle using agile methodologies.
