What I'm looking for

I seek a senior QA/automation role where I can lead automation strategy, integrate tests into CI/CD, ensure compliance, and drive measurable quality improvements.

I am a Senior Software Test Engineer with extensive experience building scalable automation frameworks and delivering measurable quality improvements across financial, healthcare, and retail domains. I have led QA efforts that produced thousands of automated tests, drove high coverage for key applications, and reduced defects through BDD and modern tooling.

I specialize in end-to-end and API automation using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Postman, and CI/CD pipelines, and I have hands-on experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, Java, and SQL. I prioritize reliability, compliance, and performance validation while integrating tests into pipelines to ensure continuous delivery and data integrity.
