What I'm looking for

I seek senior QA roles where I can lead automation and API testing in Agile teams, improve processes, mentor engineers, and deliver reliable, fast releases.

I am a Senior Test Analyst with extensive experience in automation (Selenium WebDriver, Java, C#, RestAssured), API and integration testing, and end-to-end quality assurance across domains including healthcare, insurance, banking, FMCG and government. I have led test teams, designed and maintained automation frameworks, driven regression automation and participated in full STLC activities while working in Agile, Kanban and Waterfall environments.

I consistently deliver reliable releases by creating test strategies, executing functional and integration tests, mentoring teams, and coordinating UAT and production validations. ISTQB certified and an Australian citizen, I bring strong SQL knowledge, CI/CD experience (TeamCity, Bamboo, Azure), and a proven track record of improving processes and reducing manual effort through automation.
