What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on QA automation role where I can lead testing efforts, mentor teammates, own release quality, and improve CI/CD and monitoring practices.

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer with broad experience in automation, hardware and software testing, and team leadership across multiple technology environments. I design and implement automated test cases, analyze overnight results, and make release decisions to ensure high-quality deliveries.

I have led and mentored teams, managed Wikis and documentation, and supported system installations and lab design. I routinely use CI tools such as Jenkins and Azure DevOps, and monitor system performance with Grafana while developing automation scripts in Python.

My background includes survey programming and project liaison roles, giving me strong communication, organization, and client-facing skills. I am dependable, adaptable, and focused on clear documentation and practical solutions that keep systems and releases stable.
