What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead QA automation efforts, mentor engineers, influence quality strategy, work in Agile teams, and continue growing technical leadership skills.

I am a Senior Software QA Engineer with extensive experience designing and implementing test automation frameworks, performing API and performance testing, and driving quality across Agile teams. I write and maintain automated tests using tools such as Playwright with TypeScript, Robot Framework, Selenium, and JMeter while also contributing to application maintenance and improvements.

I have delivered leadership as a Scrum Master and Release Manager, coached junior engineers, and guided QA strategy and standards across projects. My background includes building automation frameworks, converting manual suites to automated tests, and implementing processes that improved release quality and velocity.

I thrive in collaborative Agile environments, mentoring peers, communicating effectively with stakeholders, and taking ownership of deliverables while continuously learning new technologies to stay current in the field.
