What I'm looking for

I seek senior automation roles where I can design scalable frameworks, own quality across CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver stable, high-quality releases.

I am a Senior Automation Test Engineer with 11+ years of experience in Web, Mobile, and API testing across enterprise and product organisations. I design and build automation frameworks from scratch using Selenium+Java, Playwright+Java, and Python, and drive CI/CD integration and regression strategy.

I have led testing for large clients and product teams, creating keyword-driven and data-driven frameworks and owning end-to-end quality across releases. I collaborate closely with developers and product stakeholders to identify issues early and ensure production stability.

My hands-on work includes automating regression suites, validating end-to-end data flows with MongoDB and SQL Server, cross-browser testing, mobile/hybrid testing, ADB crash log analysis, and analytics validation (GA4). I also provide deployment and overnight production support when required.

I bring a practical, delivery-focused approach to automation, improving suite stability and accelerating releases through maintainable test design, robust reporting (Extent/Allure), and strong Agile practices.
