What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an SDET role where I can build scalable automation frameworks, strengthen shift-left quality, and partner in Agile teams—using Selenium, Playwright, and API testing to improve release confidence.

I’m an ISTQB/ISEB certified Software Test Engineer with 6+ years of experience in manual and automation testing across web and mobile applications. I focus on functional, regression, smoke, integration, UAT, accessibility, and exploratory testing, translating insights into reliable release quality.

In Agile environments, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to log, track, and verify defects in JIRA and Bugzilla, and I build clear reporting on testing progress and quality metrics. I’ve improved defect detection by strengthening my approach to shift-left testing strategies.

I’m actively transitioning into an SDET role with a focus on scalable automation solutions. I build automation frameworks using Selenium (Java) and Playwright (TypeScript), including reusable components and the Page Object Model (POM), and I automate API testing with Postman and Swagger—supported by frameworks like TestNG, version control with GitHub, and CI/CD exposure to Jenkins.
