## About

```text
At AMI Entertainment Network, LLC, I designed and built a cross-platform Android and iOS automation framework for the Jukebox Music Application using Appium and Python. Replacing fragile selectors and improving execution reduced the full regression runtime from approximately four hours to under 10 minutes.

At Jenius Bank (SMBC), I defined and led mobile automation architecture across Android and iOS, covering more than eight financial user journeys and reducing manual regression effort by approximately 50%. I also contributed to Android development with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, validated GraphQL APIs, and supported release activities across the App Store and Google Play.

Earlier, at Vyng, Inc., I built UI and API automation frameworks for an Android media application and migrated layouts from XML to Jetpack Compose. At PurpleBerry Labs (Socialdoor), I served as the sole Android developer for a social networking application and supported its development and quality lifecycle.
