What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as a QA/Test automation engineer where I can own IoT and embedded testing, build Python automation + CI/CD pipelines, and improve product reliability through strong test strategy, traceability, and measurable quality outcomes.

I’m a Software Test Engineer with 5+ years of experience in IoT, embedded systems, and QA automation, focused on delivering reliable product quality.

I design and execute end-to-end test strategies across functional, stress, regression, and embedded Linux testing for IoT devices like SmartSensor and MachSensor-R, including UART-based validation and embedded data accuracy checks.

I build and maintain Python-based automation frameworks using Pytest, Playwright, and Selenium to automate test execution, integrate reporting, and strengthen continuous quality monitoring through CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps.

I also lead QA lifecycle work—test plan creation, test case design, review, execution, and reporting—while managing defects and traceability in Azure DevOps, and I support automation with GPT4All to reduce repetitive QA effort.
