Francis Poku Bonsu
QA Automation × Security
Senior QA Automation Engineer and Security-Focused Quality Specialist. I build automated testing systems for banking and digital commerce — where quality, security, and engineering judgment meet.
A hybrid technical–business operator
I'm a software quality assurance engineer with a security mindset. My work centres on both manual and automated quality assurance for banking, e-commerce, real estate, fintech, and transportation software — designing test frameworks that catch defects early and surface vulnerabilities before they ship.
I'm not from a traditional computer-science background, and I treat that as an edge rather than a gap: I bridge engineering depth with a practical, outcomes-first view of the business. I'm currently deepening that foundation through an MSc in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics at KNUST, focused on application security and automated vulnerability assessment.
Alongside engineering, I build commerce and entrepreneurship. Through the POKBON IT SOLUTIONS (POKBON Marketplace) ventures I'm working toward scalable e-commerce infrastructure for African digital commerce.
What I bring to the table
Test automation, manual testing, API testing, application security, and the DevOps glue that holds them together.
QA Automation
End-to-end and API test automation built for banking-grade reliability, with a shift-left, TDD-aligned approach.
Application Security
Security-aware testing and automated vulnerability assessment, grounded in OWASP and forensics principles.
DevOps & Performance
Pipelines, containers, and load testing so quality is continuous, not a final gate.
Where I've been building
- Design and maintain automated test frameworks for banking applications across mobile, web and API layers.
- Embed security-focused testing into the QA process, aligned with OWASP best practices.
- Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous, shift-left quality.
- Direct AI as a force multiplier under human-led engineering judgment — owning every outcome.
- Research focus: application security, automated vulnerability assessment, and AI-assisted security workflows.
- Thesis direction: multi-scanner orchestration for automated security testing.
