I'm a software engineer at Arbisoft. I build automation, data pipelines, and AI-integrated workflows. Most of my work comes down to getting messy web data into a shape products can actually use.

About

Three years in. Test automation, data engineering, and AI integration are the same craft to me.

I've been at Arbisoft for just over three years. Most of that time has been split between heavy test automation work and building data pipelines that pull structured information out of unstructured web sources.

Right now I'm focused on U.S. dental insurance. I build browser automation, integration pipelines, and LLM-assisted parsing that pull data out of provider portals and map it cleanly into our product schemas.

I work AI-first day to day. Cursor, Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT are part of how I write, refactor, and debug. They make me faster. The engineering judgement still has to come from me.

Selected Work

Two projects worth talking about.

01 Active project
Current

Dental Insurance Data Platform

Automated end-to-end data flows across 30+ U.S. dental insurance portals. The data comes out of those portals in inconsistent shapes; I get it into the clean schemas our product reads from.

Built the browser automation layer in TypeScript with Playwright and Puppeteer, handling the harder bits: dynamic UIs, auth flows, session management.
Wired LLM APIs into the pipeline to parse unstructured content and normalize fields. Cut a lot of manual mapping work and pushed up data quality at the same time.
Built and ran services on Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage). Set up event-driven workflows for both scheduled jobs and on-demand triggers.
Got deep enough into the U.S. dental insurance domain (eligibility, benefits, coverage rules, claims data) that it now drives most of my schema and validation decisions.

Travel marketplace

Travel Marketplace Test Automation

Owned end-to-end test coverage for a major travel marketplace across flights, hotels, and car rentals. Also led the framework migration from Protractor to WebdriverIO.

Wrote regression, smoke, and sanity suites for the critical user journeys. The work that kept releases from breaking things customers actually use.
Led the Protractor to WebdriverIO migration. Designed a common wrapper and reusable abstraction layers (page objects, action helpers, shared utilities) so other teams could adopt the new stack without reinventing the structure each time.
Re-implemented end-to-end flows across every vertical. Hit full coverage parity with the legacy suite, with better stability and lower maintenance overhead.
