I’m a results-driven SDET/Test Automation Engineer with 7 years of end-to-end test automation expertise across web UI, API, and integration layers in .NET/C# and Java ecosystems. I’ve built engineering frameworks from scratch and delivered measurable impact—cutting release cycle risk by 40% and driving 70%+ automation coverage across enterprise healthcare and technology platforms.

At R1 RCM, I engineered a Selenium C# + RESTSharp automation suite covering 200+ test scenarios, reducing regression execution time by 40% and accelerating release cadence from bi-weekly to weekly. I refactored legacy tests using the Page Object Model (POM), lifting coverage by 15% and cutting SonarQube code-smell count by 30%—improving maintainability scores from C to A grade. In an Agile sprint cycle, I drove 70% automation coverage for release-blocking features, eliminating manual regression overhead for 3 QA engineers.

Across UST Global and Capgemini, I led API and UI automation initiatives, architected integration test suites validating 10+ microservice endpoints, and improved defect detection and production-escaping outcomes over release cycles. I also built a Java + Selenium automation framework from zero for a Fortune 500 client, delivering 701 days of sustained regression coverage with 90%+ pass rate, while implementing Jenkins CI pipelines that reduced manual test execution effort by 60%. I actively bring AI-assisted development into my workflow with Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to reduce test authoring time by an estimated 25% per sprint.
