What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my QA automation expertise to drive quality assurance in an Agile team.

As a seasoned QA Automation Engineer with 4 years of experience, I've successfully transformed testing processes through cutting-edge automation tools. I've built scalable test frameworks using Cypress, Appium, and Playwright, and optimized CI/CD pipelines for faster, more reliable releases. My passion lies in delivering flawless software in Agile teams, and I've achieved remarkable results, including reducing regression testing by 70% and boosting product stability.

With a strong background in test automation, frontend development, and CI/CD tools, I'm well-equipped to drive quality assurance in fast-paced environments. I'm a team player with excellent communication skills, having collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop and enhance QA processes.

I'm committed to staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies, and I'm excited to bring my expertise to a new challenge.
