Background

About Daniel Thimm

I’m a Senior Test Automation Engineer specializing in building scalable, maintainable, and high-impact test automation frameworks. With over 4 years in automation and 6 years in IT, I design and implement end-to-end UI and API test suites using Playwright, Selenium, REST Assured, and Java, integrated seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, Bamboo). I’m fluent in English and German, and have extensive experience collaborating with diverse, international, and cross-functional teams in agile environments. I understand how to apply Scrum and Kanban practices effectively and use agile tools like Jira, Confluence, and Git to ensure transparent, efficient delivery. Known for my fast learning ability and curiosity, I quickly adapt to new technologies and enjoy mastering emerging tools that improve automation reliability and speed. My approach combines technical precision with practical communication - helping teams ship with confidence, reduce release risk, and maintain a strong focus on quality. I’m open to senior or lead Test Automation roles where I can contribute to framework architecture, mentor engineers, and continuously improve automation strategies in a collaborative environment.
