What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and emphasizes innovative testing practices.

I am a results-driven SDET/Automation Engineer with a strong background in designing and implementing test automation frameworks across various sectors, including healthcare and finance. My experience includes integrating CI/CD pipelines and conducting performance and security testing, which has significantly improved operational efficiency. I have a solid programming foundation in Java and Gherkin, and I am adept at utilizing tools like Jira Xray for effective test management.

Throughout my career, I have built Java-based automation frameworks for critical systems, successfully reduced execution times by 30% through Jenkins integration, and validated complex identity management solutions. My hands-on experience with Docker and Selenium Grid has allowed me to create scalable test environments, enhancing the speed and reliability of testing processes. I am passionate about mentoring fellow engineers and optimizing testing frameworks to ensure high-quality software delivery.
