Gopalakrishnan (CodeByGK)

Senior SDET | QA Automation Expert

I didn't start out as a builder.

I started as a QA engineer who got tired of waiting for the right tool to exist - so I started building it myself.

That habit never stopped.

Over a decade of working as an SDET across enterprise environments, I kept running into the same pattern: the tool I needed didn't exist, the resource wasn't practical enough, or the solution was buried behind a paywall. So I built my own. Then I started sharing them.

That's how CodeByGK was born.

What is CodeByGK

CodeByGK is my indie product and resources platform - a growing collection of practical tools and resources built from real-world problems.

It's not just for QA engineers. It's for anyone who builds, automates, or ships things.

What you'll find at codebygk.com:

• 🛠️ Developer tools - JSON formatters, utilities, and productivity extensions
• 🧪 QA & automation tools - DOM2POM, test automation resources, frameworks
• 📦 Resources - prompt libraries, cheatsheets, templates, and guides built from real experience

Everything ships as a product - polished, practical, and actually useful.

My Background

Senior SDET with over a decade of experience in test automation and quality engineering.

I've built automation frameworks in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Integrated CI/CD pipelines teams actually trust. Worked with Selenium, Playwright, Squish, and Cypress across enterprise-scale projects.

I've also made every mistake possible - tests that broke production, frameworks nobody used, automation slower than manual testing. Those failures taught me more than any success did. And they directly shaped how I think about building useful, reliable software.

Current focus: AI-powered testing, LLM evaluation, and expanding the CodeByGK product suite.
