What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level QA Automation role where I can build robust test frameworks, mentor teams, work in Agile, and contribute to CI/CD and cloud-based testing practices.

I am an experienced software testing professional with over 5 years in manual and automation testing for APIs, web and mobile applications. I have hands-on exposure to Agile delivery methodologies and STLC/SDLC processes.

I design and implement automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, Selenide, Serenity BDD, TestNG and Appium, and have automated REST APIs with REST Assured, validating XML and JSON responses. I also use build tools such as Maven and Gradle and source control with GitHub and GitLab.

I contributed to projects such as HYLA Trade-in, IHG, Allego and HMS, created 300+ automated test scripts, conducted PR reviews, and integrated regression execution with AWS CodeBuild.

I enjoy mentoring teammates, conducting automation code reviews, and helping others resolve technical queries. I focus on reliable reporting and effective defect analysis using tools like JIRA, Rally and TestRail. I aim to improve processes and deliver high-quality releases through CI/CD and strong test strategies.
