I am looking for a QA automation role where I can apply my experience in Playwright and API validation to improve test coverage. I am actively learning AI-driven testing (LLM-guided browser crawling, self-healing selectors, HITL frameworks with Jira) and can apply these skills on the job.

What I'm looking for
ISTQB-certified Principal/Staff QA Engineer with 14+ years of hands-on experience in manual and automation testing across web, mobile, and API platforms in fast-paced Agile environments. In my last company at BOLD Technologies Ltd from 2016 to 2026 March, I specialized in executing comprehensive test suites, developing and debugging Selenium/Playwright automation scripts, and ensuring reliable CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions. My technical expertise includes API testing with Postman and RestAssured, defect tracking in JIRA/TestLink, and consistently delivering high-quality releases through close collaboration with developers and DevOps teams.
Key achievements include reducing test failure rates through script optimization, achieving 98% defect-free launches for projects like an Online Food Order Application (end-to-end testing with backend integration), and improving test case efficiency by 25% for an Insurance Plan Website. Earlier at Optimus Information Inc (2011-2016), I conducted functional/regression testing that cut defect rates by 15%. Passionate about open-source tools and staying current with automation trends like AI-driven testing. Recently, building intelligent test automation that combines LLM-guided browser crawling, self-healing selectors, and human-in-the-loop approval flows — turning raw requirements into executed, reported, and triaged test cases with zero manual scripts.
Professionally, I thrive as an individual contributor focused on deep technical execution rather than management, with strong debugging skills honed through Chrome DevTools, Postman, and WSL2/Ubuntu environments. Outside work, I enjoy coding practice, exploring DevOps tools, and following tech newsletters on automation and QA innovations. Eager to contribute my expertise to innovative teams building reliable software products.
