What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead and scale test automation, improve test coverage, collaborate in Agile teams, and build tooling to reduce manual effort.

I am a Software Engineer in Test (SDET) with nearly five years of industry experience and a BSc (Hons) in Digital and Technology Solutions from the University of Warwick. I focus on UI test automation, API testing, and building internal tools that streamline engineering workflows.

At Jaguar Land Rover I led Selenium-based UI automation in C# with a BDD approach, grew test coverage by 300%, maintained a suite of 150+ automated tests, created an automation tool to transform engineering files, and delivered real-time Grafana dashboards to cut incident response time by 25%.

I have hands-on experience with ASP.NET/Blazor, MySQL, Postman, Git/GitLab, Docker, and accessibility auditing tools, and I enjoy applying generative AI and full-stack development skills demonstrated in award-winning hackathon projects.
