I’m an SDET with 5 years of experience designing and scaling test automation frameworks end to end, with a strong shift-left testing mindset. I focus on building reliable, maintainable automation that supports cross-browser quality validation and faster release confidence.

In my current role, I architected an end-to-end Playwright (TypeScript) framework from scratch, scaling to 30+ Page Object Model classes across 20+ modules. By integrating Playwright AI agents (Planner, Generator, Healer), I reduced test maintenance effort by 40% and selector breakage incidents by 60% while improving reliability after UI changes.

I also strengthened my production impact through faster CI execution and better operational visibility. With GitHub Actions CI/CD using 6-shard parallel execution, I cut test execution time by 70% (about ~50 min to ~15 min per run), and I deployed a containerized test suite with Docker and alerting to reduce mean time to detect failures by 50%.

Previously at Paysquare Consultancy, I built a Selenium WebDriver + TestNG hybrid data-driven framework that scaled from 30 to 200+ cases in 6 months with 70%+ code coverage. I improved API automation with REST Assured and SQL integrity checks (100% API regression coverage), reduced flaky failures by 45% to 98% suite stability, and resolved 120+ defects across 8 sprint releases with zero escaped critical defects to production.
