Portrait of Eloi Cotonat, QA & Automation and audiovisual creator in Barcelona

Since I was a kid I've had a camera in hand: short films and my own videos since 2011, and since 2024 music videos and live shows for artists. An eye for detail and visual sensibility that's rare in a technical profile.

That same eye goes into the code. At the SaaS Stockagile and the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) I wrote tests with Cypress and Playwright so software reached production stable; at Accenture I validated and supported Red.es's UPRO platform, and automated part of its data collection with Playwright. Before that, I worked as a systems and IT support technician at Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu. Methodical, rigorous, at home in agile teams.

Robust technology should be invisible. Visual content should be unforgettable.

The story in four acts

From in front of the camera to behind the lens, by way of code

  1. Act I · 2016In front of the cameraExtra and actor in audiovisual productions. I learned to read a shot from the inside.
  2. Act II · 2018SystemsSupport, networks and Active Directory at a hospital: where nothing can go down.
  3. Act III · 2022QA & automationCypress, Playwright and CI/CD at Stockagile, VHIR and Accenture. Detail, turned into method.
  4. Act IV · 2024Behind the cameraMusic videos, live shows and portraits for artists; since 2025, the motorcycle reviews for MR.RPM too.
