Software Quality Engineer · System Builder

I build testing systems that make complex software easier to trust.

I design quality-engineering platforms, adaptive testing systems, and practical frameworks across APIs, user interfaces, CI/CD, accessibility, and agent evaluation.

  • Playwright Automation
  • API Testing
  • CI/CD
  • Accessibility
  • Agent Evaluation

Selected Work

Three systems that represent how I approach quality: adaptive testing, multi-agent analysis, and structured methodology.

Engineering quality into the system, not adding it at the end.

I treat testing as system architecture, not a phase at the end of delivery. The goal is not more tests—it is release confidence you can point to.

That means automation wired into CI/CD, repeatable evidence instead of one-off results, and risk identified early enough to act on. Whether the target is an API surface, a user interface, or an AI agent, the standard is the same: structured, observable, and defensible.

The same thinking shapes BGSTM for software testing and BGAEM, my methodology for building and evaluating production AI agent systems.

Quality engineering

  • Test strategy and architecture
  • Risk-based coverage and evidence
  • Quality gates and release confidence

Automation and delivery

  • Playwright UI and end-to-end automation
  • API testing and contract coverage
  • CI/CD integration and reporting

Intelligent systems

  • Multi-agent testing architectures
  • Adaptive test generation
  • Agent evaluation and harness design

Risk and accessibility

  • Security and vulnerability scanning
  • WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility testing
  • Compliance-conscious validation

Open Source

Public repositories and testing frameworks with working code, documentation, and live demos.

Microsoft Test Solutions

90+ automated tests across 10+ categories—login, navigation, form validation, search, and more—against a live Microsoft application surface, with an interactive demo and full documentation.

Playwright TypeScript GitHub Actions

HRM Testing Framework

95 manual test cases and 31 automated tests covering an HR management platform—including an executive-level ROI analysis demonstrating the value of structured QA investment.

Playwright Python pytest

Testing Framework Examples

Comprehensive examples of core QA engineering skills—test planning, manual testing, automated test implementation, and reporting—demonstrating end-to-end testing capability.

Strength of Record

StrengthOfRecord.com is a live college-football rankings and analytics product that turns season results into clear, data-driven comparisons of team performance and resume strength.

I am the creator and product owner, responsible for the ranking methodology, data analysis, and overall product direction.

Services

Applied quality-engineering and healthcare web work you can hire me for.

Quality engineering systems

Testing platforms and automation that scale with your product instead of slowing it down.

  • Test strategy and automation architecture
  • Playwright UI and API test suites
  • CI/CD quality gates and reporting

Healthcare web delivery

Doxy.me-integrated telehealth sites and HIPAA-aware provider websites, built so clinicians can focus on patients, not paperwork.

  • Doxy.me embedding and custom waiting-room UX
  • Branded intake and pre-visit screening flows
  • HIPAA-aware, accessibility-first provider sites

Compliance-aware validation

Quality assurance for healthcare and other regulated environments, applied with compliance-conscious rigor.

  • Functional, accessibility, and security test coverage
  • Audit-ready test evidence and reporting
  • WCAG 2.1 AA and ADA-aligned validation

I connect testing, architecture, and product thinking.

I'm Brad Guider, a software quality engineer focused on testing systems that keep pace with modern development—systems that don't just run tests, but reason about risk, prioritize effort, and generate evidence stakeholders trust.

My work spans adaptive API testing and security scanning, multi-agent analysis platforms, and structured testing methodology—supported by Playwright automation, CI/CD quality gates, and full-stack QA platforms built on FastAPI, React, and PostgreSQL. I care less about test counts and more about whether a team can ship with confidence and prove why.

I also build and run Strength of Record, a college-football rankings and analytics product, and deliver Doxy.me telehealth implementations and HIPAA-aware websites for healthcare providers.

If your testing process feels disconnected from how your software is actually built, that's the gap I work in.

Principles

  • Evidence over assumptions Decisions and releases backed by observable results, not gut feel.
  • Systems over isolated scripts Durable testing architecture instead of disposable automation.
  • Clarity over complexity Simple, legible processes that teams actually follow.

Have a complex testing or quality problem?

Tell me what you're building and where quality is slowing you down. I'll respond with an honest assessment of how I can help—or a pointer if I can't.
