What I'm looking for

I seek a senior automation role where I can build scalable frameworks, integrate CI/CD, mentor testers, and improve release velocity within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer with extensive hands-on experience building and maintaining automation frameworks across web and API testing using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Robot Framework and Serenity-Cucumber. I routinely containerize test runs, integrate CI/CD pipelines, and generate automated reporting to support reliable, repeatable test execution.

Across multiple roles I implemented CI using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, created Dockerized test environments, authored Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments, and used Terraform and AWS S3 for report management. I have converted manual testers into automation contributors, reduced manual regression effort, and improved defect visibility through integrations with JIRA, Xray and TestRail.

I bring a practical, results-focused approach to quality engineering, a willingness to explore new automation technologies, and a track record of collaborating across teams to deliver functional, regression and integration test coverage that speeds release cycles and increases product confidence.
