I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 3 years of software testing experience, delivering quality across security, networking, and enterprise products. I automate web test flows like login, dashboard validation, form submission, and regression using Selenium (Python), and I also run API testing with Postman to validate payloads, auth flows, and endpoint reliability.

Beyond QA, I bring hands-on DevOps and pipeline automation skills. I built multi-stage GitLab CI/CD and Jenkins pipelines (lint → unit tests → SonarQube/Trivy scans → Docker build → Harbor push → Argo CD deployment) and automated infrastructure deployments across Dev using Argo CD (GitOps), reducing manual effort by ~40%. I implement quality gates and vulnerability scanning to enforce secure, reliable builds across environments.

I’ve supported this work through projects like a Brand Monitoring Platform deployed on Kubernetes with end-to-end validation for UI filters, navigation, reports, exports (CSV/PDF), and evidence generation. I also built end-to-end CI/CD workflows for Codagnya with GitOps across Dev, UAT, and Production, and I tested phishing simulation modules in GoPhish, finding 20+ critical bugs while reducing production issues by 10% and improving campaign success rate by 70%.
