## About

```text
At WEX, I led end-to-end automation strategy using Robot Framework and Python, creating a maintainable, scalable test suite for complex frontend workflows.

I owned integration testing across UI and API layers, validating REST APIs with Postman and checking data integrity with MySQL. I also authored test plans and risk matrices aligned with business requirements and sprint goals.

At WEX, I mentored junior QA engineers and introduced BDD practices to align development and QA. Earlier, at ENGAGE for Business, I built web crawlers and UI automation workflows with JavaScript, Jest, and Puppeteer.
