I am a Lead Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with over 9.5 years of experience, including 6.5 years in the Fintech domain. My career has been defined by my commitment to quality assurance and my ability to tackle complex technical challenges. I have a proven track record in automation framework development, establishing effective QA processes, and managing mid-size QA teams. My passion for delivering high-quality projects drives me to continuously improve and innovate.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed teams and projects that have significantly increased operational efficiency and reduced issues in production. For instance, I developed a unified automation framework that supports both UI and API testing, which has been instrumental in releasing complex projects without critical issues.
