Hello! I'm Arek

I’m a Test Automation Engineer at Admiral Money, where I work across frontend, backend, and API testing for financial services products, using Cypress, Python, BDD, and CI/CD pipelines to improve test coverage

Outside of work, I build Android apps in Kotlin. My current focus is FaceDown, a focus timer app designed to help people stay off their phone and protect focused time.

Outside of tech, I enjoy unwinding with a few games of VALORANT, keeping my competitive spirit alive in a more casual setting.
