What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as a Lead SDET, owning test strategy end-to-end for SaaS products—combining automation, performance engineering, and AI-assisted testing that improves coverage, reduces MTTR, and speeds up release confidence.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 4+ years owning end-to-end test architecture and automation strategy for SaaS products. I build scalable automation frameworks from scratch, adding quality gates across the SDLC to drive 70% coverage and 99.9% uptime.

In my current role, I lead a 3-engineer QA team for API testing and use structured defect triage to reduce MTTR by 35%. I’ve embedded shift-left testing by pushing 80% unit test coverage gates into CI/CD, cutting production defects by 45%, while also reviewing code and enforcing DRY/SOLID standards to maintain 90%+ automation coverage.

I also focus heavily on performance and intelligent test authoring: I built a K6 + Grafana performance framework integrated via GitHub Actions, delivering strong regression savings, and I optimized critical API endpoints by 30% response time. Beyond traditional automation, I leverage AI-assisted testing—using Claude (and Gemini via ClipCase)—to generate test cases and exploratory scenarios from screen recordings, accelerating test work while improving coverage consistency across the team.
