What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead QA automation and AI-driven product initiatives, work in cross-functional teams, and drive scalable engineering and business outcomes.

I am a technology leader and software development professional with over 10 years of experience in software engineering, testing, and project management. I specialize in building scalable test frameworks, automating QA processes, and integrating APIs for retail and e-commerce platforms.

In my recent roles I led cross-functional teams to implement CI/CD-integrated test automation, reduced manual QA time through automation initiatives, and improved defect tracking and reporting. I have hands-on experience with BDD, RESTful API validation, and both UI and backend test strategies.

I also manage retail and e-commerce operations, designing pricing strategies, loyalty programs, and business automation systems while driving online presence via SEO and targeted social campaigns. I collaborate with partners to integrate AI-driven analytics for sales forecasting and product insights.

I bring a pragmatic, data-driven approach to software quality and digital transformation, combining technical depth in test automation and DevOps with product-focused leadership to deliver measurable business outcomes.
