I’m a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) and QA Automation Engineer with 4 years of experience architecting automation frameworks and embedding testing into CI/CD pipelines. I build reliable UI/API test suites that reduce manual effort and keep releases moving.

At Briq, I engineered and scaled automation using Java, Selenium, and TestNG for cross-application data transfer services—validating data integrity and improving turnaround time by 99%. I also modernized CI/CD by integrating automated regression suites into GitLab CI and Jenkins to ensure continuous quality checks with less manual intervention.

Before that, at Upland Software, I integrated Java-based Selenium/TestNG and RESTAssured frameworks directly into GitLab CI and Jenkins so tests run automatically on deployment. I architected end-to-end, integration, smoke, and sanity coverage, analyzed regression suite candidates for maximum value, and reduced manual test cases by 33%.

Earlier at Unisys, I developed BDD-based UI and API automation using Cucumber and Postman, achieving 90% test case automation across services. I also optimized computational resource usage by changing blockchain service deployment from on-premise to a Kubernetes cluster (15% improvement) and built UI components and Grafana dashboards, along with a patent-related security research contribution.
