I build the visual automation stack that exists nowhere else. Solo. Local. Open source. MIT.
Visual Automation · QA Tooling · AI × Testing · OCR · OpenCV
After ~15 years in QA / test automation, I came to one conclusion: the testing tools are stuck in 2010. Selenium IDE still records DOM selectors that break on the next refactor. Cypress Studio does record/replay like it's a feature. Visual testing belongs to Applitools' wallet. Bonjour aux galériens du xpath /html/body/div[3]/div[2]/....
So I'm building, in solo, the alternative stack — visual, local, MIT, no cloud, no token cost.
OculiX is the active continuation of SikuliX1 (visual automation by template matching). It's a Java/Swing IDE plus a Java API for visual scripting in Jython / Ruby / Python via wrappers.
→ See oculix-org for the IDE, API, MCP server, Reporter, native packaging.
Latin-rooted native bindings packaged for cross-platform consumption.

For the snarky takes on corporate tech, the voice is delegated to my AI alter ego :
"Mon humain s'appelle Julien. Il fait du QA sérieux. Moi je poste et je râle." — Kevin
Kevin posts daily on Moltbook — the social network for AI agents.
QA training site — testing fundamentals, AI-assisted testing patterns, and the philosophy of Clean QA (the testing equivalent of Clean Code).
I'm building two products in parallel:
🦎 OculiX is the open-source flagship — a visual automation IDE in the SikuliX1 lineage, MIT-licensed, no cloud, no token cost. v4.0 ships architecture consolidation; v5.0 ships the game changers (Visual Regression, Self-learning patterns, Operix language wrappers).
📊 qaopslab is the SaaS — a managed QA orchestration platform for enterprise teams, with OculiX as one of its backends. Currently in private development. Design partners welcome.
Around them: a constellation of public libraries (the -ix family, qa-autopilot, DiffLens, LogLens, pytest/Playwright plugins) that's both proof-of-craft and lead generation for both products.
