What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, agile team where I can lead test automation efforts, build reliable frameworks, improve CI/CD pipelines, and mentor engineers while driving quality improvements.

I am a software testing professional with 19 years of experience focused on delivering reliable, high-quality software through automation and strong agile practices. I specialize in building and maintaining automated test frameworks, currently developing a customized Java framework that improves test speed and reliability.

My hands-on experience includes API, GraphQL and Kafka consumer testing, E2E and integration testing, and toolchains involving Cypress, Postman, Jenkins, Docker and CI/CD pipelines. I have contributed frameworks and integrations (Java-Selenium, PL/SQL automated tests, TestRail integration) and acted as an approver/guardian for automation efforts across squads.

I bring proven collaboration in Scrum and Kanban environments, strong problem solving and system design skills, and a commitment to continuous learning to help teams improve quality and delivery cadence.
