I’m Finbar “Barry” Valino. I’ve spent decades in QA—leading teams, driving automation, and making sure products ship with confidence. Now I’m taking the next step: moving beyond testing into full-stack development.
I learn fast, ship faster, and put in the hours because I love creating. This site? Built from scratch, by me. What I bring is more than technical skill—it's perspective, resilience, and the drive to keep getting better.
I’m going deeper into JavaScript and building the foundation to create complete web applications, including:
I already know my way around Playwright, Cypress, Karate, and other modern automation frameworks. This is about going further—being able to design, build, and test end-to-end systems.
I like to be challenged. I like solving problems. And I believe staying sharp means learning, adapting, and delivering. Whether it’s SDET/QA or full-stack development, I bring the same energy: hands-on skills backed by years of perspective.
I’m at my best on a small, fast-moving team where people wear multiple hats. QA and testing are my foundation — whether that’s designing automation, running end-to-end checks, or making sure releases ship with confidence. But I don’t stop there. When the tests are running smoothly and the pipeline is stable, I want to jump in on development work — building features, fixing bugs, or tackling whatever the team needs. In short: I want to be the kind of teammate who not only makes sure things work, but also helps make them happen.
