What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on QA automation role where I can build scalable frameworks, improve QA processes, mentor teams, and integrate tests into CI/CD to reduce defects and accelerate delivery.

I am a Senior QA Automation Analyst with deep experience building test automation frameworks (Appium, Selenium, Playwright) from scratch and embedding them into CI/CD pipelines. I design and execute comprehensive QA processes—requirement analysis, test planning, regression ownership, and reporting—across web and native mobile apps, APIs, and regulated medical-device software.

I have led automation projects using Java, Python, and JavaScript, implemented Page Object patterns, TestNG/Maven/Cucumber, integrated BrowserStack/Sauce Labs, and optimized suites with Java Streams and reporting tools. I favor pragmatic QA process improvements, mentoring, and clear documentation to reduce defects and accelerate reliable releases.
