What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can lead QA automation initiatives, build scalable test frameworks, collaborate cross-functionally, and leverage CI/CD and AI-assisted testing to improve release quality.

I am a Lead SDET and software engineer in test with hands-on experience building scalable UI and API automation frameworks using Playwright and TypeScript for enterprise SaaS products.

I architected a Playwright-based automation framework achieving 90%+ coverage across 2,000+ automated tests, implemented end-to-end contract workflow and e-signature validation, and automated email-driven flows using IMAP and Mailparser.

As a full-stack engineer, I built a MERN learning platform with real-time quiz functionality, JWT-based authentication, and CI/CD deployments using Vercel and Render, maintaining high uptime and responsive user experiences.

I collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to define QA quality gates, embed automation in CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and develop AI-assisted QA agents to autonomously execute tests and generate reports.
