About Faroek

Senior Agile BI & Test Automation Engineer | 20 years SQL-driven Data Warehouse & ETL Testing
Originally from the Netherlands and now based in Dubai (Remraam), I run my own fully licensed freezone company — Intuitive Testing Company L.L.C-FZ in Meydan Free Zone. This setup enables me to deliver flexible, high-quality testing services to clients in Europe and the UAE — on-site in Dubai, hybrid, or fully remote with no visa hassle for local UAE assignments.
With nearly 20 years of hands-on experience as a Senior Agile BI & Test Automation Engineer, I specialise in complex data migrations, DataVault implementations, ETL processes, reconciliation, and risk- & requirement-based testing in highly regulated environments. Recent key projects include:

Data migrations for the national “Pension of Tomorrow” programme at APG
Replacement of legacy DWH with a new DataVault platform at the IND (asylum processes)
IFRS9 stress testing and compliance filtering at Rabobank and de Volksbank
Cloud banking modules (Accounts, Direct Debit, Payment Gateway) at Fivedegrees
Crew rostering system implementation at Transavia

I excel at quickly analysing complex business structures, translating requirements into effective test strategies, and building/maintaining automated regression suites on existing frameworks (SpecFlow, Behave, Gherkin, ReadyAPI, Postman, Selenium, etc.). My strength lies in delivering immediate value in Agile/Scrum teams through thorough SQL-based validation, API/cloud testing, and strong documentation in Jira & Confluence.
Certified in ISTQB, TMAP Next, and Agile Foundation. I adapt fast, work well under pressure, and bring a structured yet energetic approach to every assignment.
Available immediately for projects in the Netherlands/Europe (remote or on-site) and in the UAE (Dubai on-site/hybrid or remote).
