Message

At Progressive Insurance, I develop Playwright test suites for cross-browser and parallel execution, and automate REST API checks with Postman and JSON schema validation. I integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines and validate backend data across microservices.

Previously, I worked on automation and testing at S&T Bank, Hyperion Bank, Barnes & Noble, and Erie Insurance. I’ve built reusable testing frameworks, automated web and Android applications, and supported regression testing, UAT, and production releases.
