What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on SDET role where I can drive performance and API automation with measurable impact, partner closely with DevOps, and keep growing toward cybersecurity and SOC-focused testing.

I’m a Software Engineer in Test (SDET) with expertise in performance testing, test automation, and API testing, and I’m currently expanding my skillset into cybersecurity. I focus on turning performance metrics into actionable optimizations that improve scalability, stability, and measurable release outcomes.

In my current role, I delivered a 38% reduction in response times by analyzing performance metrics and collaborating with DevOps and product teams. I also reduced the application error rate from 14% to 0.017% and improved real-time visibility by integrating New Relic for proactive bottleneck detection.

I build practical validation solutions—like a performance validation tool that links code changes to application behavior—reducing validation efforts for releases by 40%. I’ve also accelerated release quality by 25% through data-driven regression testing using Selenium and Postman, and I enjoy cross-functional collaboration in Agile/Scrum environments.
