What I'm looking for

I seek senior QA/automation roles where I can design and scale test frameworks, improve quality metrics, mentor teams, and contribute to continuous delivery in collaborative Agile environments.

I am a results-oriented Senior QA Engineer with nearly 20 years of experience in software quality assurance and test automation, specialising in designing, implementing, and optimising robust automation frameworks to enhance product quality and accelerate delivery timelines.

I have led test strategy, automation and integration testing across domains including payments, entertainment, finance and HR, building frameworks with Java, Selenium, Cypress, Rest-Assured, Cucumber and JS, and maintaining large regression suites and CI dashboards.

My achievements include adding 1600 API tests, 30 end-to-end UI scenarios, automating a CRUD API for fast releases, creating custom Azure DevOps dashboards, and mentoring teams to adopt unit testing and higher automation coverage.
