What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an agile team where I can embed quality end-to-end with manual + automation, lead strong test strategy, and improve release confidence through API, web, and mobile testing. I value clear collaboration, ownership, and fast feedback.

I’m an SDET with over a decade of hands on experience across product development and digital transformation. I specialise in both manual and automated testing, defect management, and designing effective test strategies across web, mobile, backend services, and cloud platforms.

I’ve helped teams in energy, investment banking, finance, payments, retail, and eCommerce deliver reliable, high quality software at pace. I work confidently with cross functional teams, managing technical and non technical stakeholders to keep projects moving and releases on track.

I’m known as a calm, can do, detail driven troubleshooter who can break down complex technical ideas into clear, practical insights. At Dunelm, I set up a Playwright automation framework with TypeScript from scratch and integrated it with GitLab CI, while leading QA best practices and improving coverage through automation across web, mobile, and API testing.
