Software Tester | Quality-First Tester
Johan Thylin
Certified Scrum Master & Product Owner turned testing ninja. I blend an agile mindset with a detective’s eye for bugs, delivering software that works *and* feels great.
Structured
Checklists that never miss a beat, release plans that stay on‑track, and a calm‑under‑pressure workflow.
Quality
Risk‑based coverage that catches the stuff that really matters – no more “it works on my machine”.
Creative
Off‑the‑wall test ideas, edge‑case hunting, and a sprinkle of fun to keep the team smiling.
About
QA engineer based in Karlstad.
I’m a Karlstad-based QA engineer who loves turning vague requirements into concrete test scenarios. Whether it’s manual exploratory sessions or fully‑automated pipelines, I thrive on making software robust and delightful.
Working side‑by‑side with developers, I translate business goals into testable stories, clear bug reports and keep the release train moving smoothly.
Lately I’ve been sharpening my automation chops (Playwright, Robot Framework) and digging deeper into agile practices—always on the lookout for the next clever shortcut.
When I’m not hunting bugs, you’ll find me cheering on my favorite football team, running, or tinkering with some Lego!
Experience
Functional, regression, and exploratory testing in fast‑paced agile squads.
How I Work
Curious, methodical, and communicative—focused on crystal‑clear bug reports and seamless collaboration.
