What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA / Automation Engineer with experience starting from 2014 in manual and test automation across Web, APIs, Database, and mobile platforms. I’m proficient in Selenium, Cypress, REST Assured, Appium, and JMeter, with domain expertise in Fintech, Telecom, E-Government, Transportation, and Hospitality. I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments, where I lead testing activities, review test strategy and release scope, and help teams improve quality through practical guidance.
In my most recent role, I’m leading testing activities for STC’s T2R system and reviewing test plans per sprint while reporting daily progress in Jira. I’ve also supervised QA engineers, provided API testing automation training (REST Assured) using real devices and BrowserStack, performed RCA for customer-impacting issues, and validated payment flows and integrations (including ZATCA). I build scalable automation frameworks and implement CI/CD integration using GitHub Actions and GitLab CI to automate execution and reporting inside modern DevOps workflows.
