What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior QA/automation role where I can lead UI/API automation roadmaps, embed shift-left and risk-based testing, and apply AI-assisted testing to improve coverage and defect detection in cloud-native SaaS teams.

I'm a Senior Software QA Engineer with 8+ years of experience driving quality engineering strategy across SaaS, financial, and regulated healthcare platforms. I lead QA initiatives by owning UI and API automation roadmaps, scaling test frameworks for cloud-native microservices with CI/CD integration, and implementing shift-left testing practices in Agile environments. I also mentor QA teams and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to strengthen SDLC/STLC quality and defect lifecycle outcomes.

I build and validate AI-enabled testing solutions, including AI-assisted test design, OCR validation, and multi-agent LLM workflows via MCP servers to accelerate coverage from user stories into CI/CD pipelines. In recent roles, I architected automation frameworks that cut regression time by 60%, reduced production defects by 35%, accelerated release cycles by 83%, increased API/performance coverage by 90%, and improved data reliability to 98% while mentoring analysts to raise team velocity and code quality.
