What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA/automation role where I can own Playwright regression and API testing for cloud SaaS, improve quality metrics, and mentor cross-functional teams to deliver reliable releases.

I’m a results-driven Quality Assurance Engineer with 5+ years in software testing and quality assurance, focused on end-to-end test automation and QA strategy. I’ve led QA efforts across cloud-based SaaS platforms and web/mobile products, building regression test suites, smoke pack execution protocols, and driving API + backend validation through REST APIs and Swagger.

My work centers on delivering measurable quality: I architected automation frameworks that reduced regression testing time by 40% and reached 85% automation coverage across enterprise SaaS platforms. I also lead teams through mentorship (including 5+ junior testers), strengthen release confidence with quality metrics and risk assessment, and improve reliability—supporting mobile app stability with a 35% improvement through focused compatibility and performance checks.
