What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead QA automation initiatives, mentor teams, improve CI/CD testing pipelines, and drive measurable reductions in regression time while maintaining a collaborative, learning-focused culture.

I am a results-driven QA Team Lead with over 10 years in Quality Assurance and 12 years in IT, focused on test automation, QA workflow optimization, and mentoring high-performing teams. I have hands-on experience with Selenium, Appium, Playwright, JMeter, Locust, Docker, and CI/CD tools.

Throughout my career I formalized regression processes, increased test coverage (examples: 30–40% more high/critical bug reports per sprint; automation coverage from 30%→70% iOS), reduced regression time by up to 35%, and improved backend and engine performance through load testing.

I prioritize practical automation adoption and team capability building, empowering manual QAs with automation skills rapidly and creating scalable CI/CD and testing pipelines that reduce flaky tests and accelerate delivery.
