What I'm looking for

I want to own quality gates and release authority, build scalable test automation frameworks, and drive shift-left testing across UI/API/data—partnering with fast teams on CI/CD, production quality monitoring, and meaningful AI-assisted QA.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer in Test with 5 years of experience driving quality engineering for large-scale, cloud-based web platforms. I specialize in architecting Playwright and Python automation frameworks from the ground up, with full release authority on fast-moving teams.

I own end-to-end QA practices and test strategy, including shift-left testing to catch issues early. I’ve built a custom Python/Pytest/Playwright framework that reached 85% automation coverage of critical end-to-end flows, established regression testing where none existed (now completing in ~3 hours), and reduced production hotfixes through release-gate ownership.

I also bring practical engineering depth: I integrate automated tests with BrowserStack and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, AWS), drive production quality monitoring with Sentry and alerting via Power Automate and Microsoft Teams, and accelerate automation development with an internal AI-assisted QA tool using an MCP server and local LLMs.
