I’m a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 5+ years of experience designing and scaling automation frameworks for web, mobile, and API testing. I focus on shifting quality left so teams catch issues earlier and release with confidence.

I’ve built and scaled hybrid Selenium/Appium (Java) frameworks using POM, automating 75% of regression and saving 20+ hours of manual testing per cycle. On the API side, I developed REST Assured test suites that reduced backend verification by 45%, and I used parallel BrowserStack runs to slash runtimes by 50%. I also integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines and partner with developers on Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and preventive automation to block regressions—cutting regression cycles by up to 50%.

Previously at Automait Labs, I led migration from manual to automation, raising regression coverage by 35% and enabling weekly continuous releases. I co-architected a Cucumber BDD framework to reduce maintenance by 40%, automated REST Assured API testing (reducing cycles by 60%), and integrated suites into Jenkins CI/CD; earlier at Amazon, I executed compatibility/exploratory testing across 20+ iOS/Android devices and improved release/debugging through detailed Jira telemetry.
