What I'm looking for

I seek roles building and scaling automation frameworks, leveraging AI-assisted testing and CI/CD, collaborating with devs to improve coverage and accelerate reliable releases.

I am a results-driven Senior SDET with 9+ years designing, building, and scaling automation frameworks across web, API, ETL, and AI-assisted testing environments. I specialize in building automation from scratch, improving coverage and defect detection, and collaborating closely with developers to accelerate release cycles.

My hands-on expertise includes C#, Java, Python, Playwright, SpecFlow, Selenium, Pytest, REST and GraphQL API automation, and data validation in Snowflake and MongoDB environments. I have implemented CI/CD pipelines, feature-flag driven releases, and performance testing, and I regularly use AI copilots and Stagehand-based frameworks to speed test generation and debugging.

I have delivered measurable outcomes — boosting team velocity, increasing reliability of automation deliverables, and reducing post-release defects — while mentoring peers and driving adoption of best practices in test strategy, observability, and pipeline automation.
