What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior QA/automation role focused on building automation frameworks, integrating CI/CD, mentoring teams, and driving continuous quality improvements in an Agile environment.

I am a software test engineer with over seven years of experience improving QA processes through automation and CI/CD. I specialize in designing robust testing frameworks and working with Java, C#, Python, SQL, Selenium, Playwright, Cypress and RestAssured to increase efficiency and coverage.

I have led teams to build end-to-end Selenium/NUnit and Cypress automation frameworks, integrated automated tests into Azure DevOps and AWS pipelines, and delivered a 50% reduction in manual testing and deployment times for a Salesforce application. I mentor junior and offshore QA engineers, authored Confluence knowledge guides, and partnered with DevOps and product teams to embed quality across the SDLC.

I thrive in Agile, collaborative environments where I can drive continuous improvement, strengthen automation coverage, and help teams deliver reliable, client-ready releases.
