What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership QA role where I can design scalable automation, mentor distributed teams, improve CI/CD quality, and work in an outcome-driven, collaborative environment.

I am an SDET and Automation QA lead with 10 years of experience delivering scalable test automation solutions and defining QA strategy for web, mobile, API, and microservices. I specialize in building frameworks that reduce regression time and accelerate CI/CD feedback loops.

I have led and mentored distributed QA teams across US, EMEA, APAC, Australia, and New Zealand, coordinating async collaboration and virtual team management to maintain high delivery velocity. My domain experience spans Banking, Mortgage, Telecom, and Construction Software.

Technically, I design and implement UI automation (Selenium, Playwright), API automation (Rest Assured, Postman), and backend validation (Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines with GitLab/Jenkins and containerization tools like Docker.

I am outcome-focused: I reduced regression time by 60%, cut feedback time by 50% through CI/CD integration, validated real-time IoT streaming of 200M+ daily messages, and earned internal awards for automation leadership and performance.
