Last position:
Security Architect at Capgemini
I implemented a Zero-Trust architecture for robust, military-grade maritime container mini data centers based on VMware & Tanzu to support containerized GIS workloads for ground forces. The main focus was on securing communications, workload protection, and data access in contested electronic battle environments affected by jamming, interception, signal manipulation, and constantly changing operational conditions. I designed and architected use cases so that every element of workload, identity, and system could continue to operate independently and securely even in degraded or disrupted scenarios. In parallel, I defined the enterprise and solution security architecture with LeanIX, Bizzdesign, and HOPEX as enterprise architecture, repository, and governance platforms to maintain architecture inventory, relationships, traceability, target pictures, and security governance in complex environments. For the architectural designs, I used Sparx Enterprise Architect to describe formal architecture views, interfaces, trust boundaries, and system architecture in both IT and OT environments. IriusRisk was used for threat modeling of the solution to identify architecture-driven risks, derive security requirements, and detect countermeasures and design gaps directly from the solution models. Risk and compliance management was supported with Archer. Architecture decisions, control gaps, and operational risks were translated into controlled governance and auditable compliance measures. For documentation, collaboration, and visual design, I used Confluence to maintain Architecture Decision Records, Security Blueprints, and workflows. I used Lucidchart and draw.io to create design artifacts tailored to stakeholders. I also defined OT security concepts with support from electrical and mechanical engineers in the areas of oil, vehicle onboard systems, rail, power plants, pharma, gas turbines, and nuclear technology. I created the end-to-end OT security strategy, starting with global policy, developed into standards and procedures, and finally aligned with Bell-LaPadula, Purdue Model, SABSA, TOGAF ADM, CENELEC 50701, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. In addition, I worked with engineering team leads to identify critical KBP assets and place them under protective measures that segmented SCADA, PLC, and HMI assets. I drove collaboration between Security, IT, and OT teams to create standardized workflows and use cases for the OT security solution catalog, while integrating Defense-in-Depth and Zero-Trust principles into operational environments. A key part of my work was integrating multidisciplinary engineering, security, and operations stakeholders into a unified security blueprinting strategy and ensuring that architecture, threat modeling, governance, and documentation were technically strong and operationally practical.

About the technology
Test automation scope
Katalon Studio is a low-code and scripted test automation platform for web applications, APIs, mobile apps and desktop software. It combines a visual workflow with Groovy-based scripting, built-in keywords, object repositories and execution reports. Teams use it to cover functional, regression and service-level testing across complex release cycles.
Core ecosystem
Strong specialists work across Katalon Studio and the systems around it. They configure test projects, manage environments and connect automation with the wider delivery toolchain.
- Web testing with Selenium-based browser automation
- API testing for REST and SOAP services
- Mobile testing with Appium capabilities
- Git, Jira, Jenkins and CI pipeline integration
- Test data, execution profiles and reporting
Typical deliverables
A Katalon Studio engagement can produce a structured test repository, reusable custom keywords, stable object locators and data-driven test cases. Experts also establish smoke and regression suites, configure parallel or scheduled execution, and document how teams maintain the assets after handover. The result should support repeatable decisions, not only isolated test runs.
When companies hire specialists
Companies often bring in freelance expertise when manual regression slows releases, an existing suite becomes unreliable or a new product needs test coverage quickly. Germany-based teams may value specialists who can work remotely across distributed delivery groups or join on-site workshops when product and quality teams need close coordination. Experience with regulated or enterprise environments can also matter where auditability and traceable results are essential.
Skills that matter
Quality work requires more than knowing the Katalon interface. Professionals should understand test design, risk-based coverage, exploratory testing, browser behavior, API contracts, authentication and test data management. They should be comfortable diagnosing flaky runs, separating product defects from environment failures and reviewing Groovy scripts for clarity. Familiarity with Agile delivery and CI/CD helps automation remain part of the release process.
Choosing the right expert
Assess specialists by asking for examples of suites they made maintainable, not just screenshots of recorded cases. Look for clear naming, reusable keywords, controlled test data, meaningful assertions and reports that help a team act. A practical review of your application, environments and release risks should lead to a focused automation plan. The best fit can explain trade-offs between Katalon Studio, direct Selenium or Appium work, and other test tools in plain language.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Katalon Studio.
Katalon Studio is used to automate functional and regression tests for web applications, APIs, mobile apps and desktop software. It supports visual test creation as well as Groovy scripting, so teams can start quickly and extend coverage for complex workflows.
Katalon Studio provides a broader, more integrated workspace than Selenium alone, including object management, test data, reporting and execution profiles. Selenium offers a flexible automation foundation, while Katalon Studio can reduce the amount of framework and reporting work a team must build itself.
A strong Katalon Studio specialist usually understands test strategy, API validation, browser automation, mobile testing and CI/CD. Experience with Git, Jira, Jenkins, authentication, SQL and Groovy is also useful when tests must connect to real delivery workflows.
The right Katalon Studio freelancer should have handled work comparable to your application, test environments and release risks. Ask how they stabilized unreliable tests, organized reusable components and decided which scenarios belonged in smoke, regression or exploratory testing.
Katalon Studio work is often suitable for remote collaboration because projects, scripts, results and defects can be reviewed through shared repositories and delivery tools. Germany-based teams should agree on working hours, documentation standards and the language used for test cases and stakeholder communication.
Good Katalon Studio automation is stable, readable, reusable and tied to clear business risks. Review assertion quality, locator strategy, test data handling, failure diagnostics, execution time and whether the suite gives trustworthy feedback instead of simply producing many recorded cases.
Katalon Studio reduces repetitive checks but does not replace skilled manual testing. Exploratory testing, usability review, new-risk analysis and investigation of unexpected behavior still require human judgment, especially when requirements or interfaces change.
Before starting with Katalon Studio, a freelancer should clarify application scope, supported browsers or devices, environments, test data, access rights, release cadence and existing automation assets. They should also define success criteria, reporting needs and how failures will be triaged with the product team.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Katalon Studio in their recent projects is 86 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 690 € based on an 8-hour working day.
