What I'm looking for

I am a results-driven Software Quality Engineer and DevOps enthusiast with over 8 years of experience in test automation, performance testing, and CI/CD integration. My journey has been marked by a commitment to designing scalable automation frameworks for web, mobile, and API testing, while also mentoring teams to embrace Agile testing as a core culture. I am passionate about DevOps practices, cloud-based testing, infrastructure automation, and performance optimization.

In my current role as a Quality Automation Engineer at Mindera, I have established and maintained quality processes that support both DevOps and development teams. I have successfully improved end-to-end test coverage, defined test strategies aligned with CI/CD pipelines, and implemented automated testing frameworks that enhance deployment quality. My technical leadership has guided teams in adopting best practices for test automation and DevOps collaboration, ensuring that we deliver high-quality software efficiently.
