What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an Agile team where I can lead Python QA automation across APIs and system validation, build modular frameworks, and strengthen CI/CD regression reliability—using AI tools to accelerate scripts, triage bugs, and improve documentation.

I’m a Senior SDET with 9 years of experience building Python-based test automation using Pytest, Robot Framework, and Selenium, delivering strong coverage across API and system validation. I focus on SQL-driven validation to support data quality checks, backend integrity testing, and defect lifecycle management in Agile teams.

Across my roles, I’ve built modular automation frameworks and integrated test execution into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) to improve regression reliability and reduce duplication. I’ve delivered end-to-end solutions like an OCR extraction and verification pipeline (Robot Framework) and a camera/infotainment validation framework that validates behavior using system logs and trace tools.

I also apply Generative AI tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Codex) to accelerate test script creation, triage, and documentation—plus I built a prompt-based AI agent to answer questions using internal Confluence, reducing time spent searching documentation.
