What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, agile team role where I can drive test automation, improve CI/CD quality gates, mentor juniors, and contribute measurable reductions in release risk and runtime.

I am a Software QA Engineer with extensive experience building and optimizing automated test frameworks for web and backend systems, improving CI/CD efficiency and preventing production defects. I have driven measurable results—reducing test runtime by 62.9%, preventing over 100 bugs from reaching production, and automating large suites of API and SOAP services.

I work closely with developers, DevOps and product teams to embed quality early (shift-left), refine acceptance criteria, and provide actionable quality metrics. My background spans Selenium, PyTest, Cucumber, Postman, Azure DevOps, AWS fundamentals and performance testing tools, and I enjoy mentoring juniors and iterating on testing processes to speed releases and increase stability.
