What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced team where I can own UI and API automation, strengthen CI/CD testing (Jenkins/Bitbucket), and improve quality with scalable frameworks, accessibility coverage, and strong cross-functional collaboration.

I’m a Senior Software Test Engineer with 5.2+ years of experience specializing in UI and API automation using Selenium and Java. I’ve built and maintained scalable frameworks with TestNG, POM, BDD/Serenity, and REST Assured, focusing on robust, repeatable testing.

I reduce manual effort and accelerate release cycles by integrating strong test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Bitbucket). I’ve expanded automated coverage across complex workflows, edge cases, negative scenarios, accessibility, and data validation, while improving defect detection through proactive monitoring with Datadog and Kibana.

I’m a collaborative problem-solver who standardizes QA processes and strengthens cross-functional workflows with developers, product, and DevOps. I also create SOPs and testing standards, mentor junior testers, and support agile execution through sprint planning, daily stand-ups, release readiness, and retrospectives.
