Summary
Alapan Das is a Senior QA Automation Engineer based in London with over a decade of testing experience and nine years focused on automation across web, mobile and backend systems. He builds and maintains robust test frameworks using Robot Framework, Cypress, Playwright and Nightwatch, and has added performance testing with k6 and CI pipelines via GitLab/Azure while containerizing tooling with Docker. At companies including Apple, RELEX and ABOUT YOU he has scaled automation for high-traffic services (checkout systems serving ~50M monthly visitors) and led migrations from legacy Robot tests to modern JS/TS stacks. Comfortable across languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java) and both front-end and API testing, he pairs hands-on scripting with pipeline engineering and release support. Unusually for a QA specialist, he began his career as a freelance web designer, giving him a product-minded perspective on frontend UX and client communication. He combines deep practical automation know-how with an appetite for optimizing test performance and developer workflows.
