Message

At DeviceTotal, I work across R&D, QA automation, infrastructure security, and product planning. I build QA automation with Python, Pytest, Selenium, and Cypress, and contribute to infrastructure work, development pipelines, and data ETL.

Before my promotion to R&D Manager, I worked on DeviceTotal’s security awareness solution for non-agentable devices. I tested its ETL pipeline, analytics tools, API, and web SPA, and maintained regression testing and Azure DevOps and Jenkins pipelines.

At Checkpoint, I tested Endpoint Security across web and desktop interfaces and multiple platforms, using Cypress, Postman, and Jenkins. Earlier, I worked as a Manual QA Engineer at S3 Outsourcing on e-commerce and game-development projects, including GUI, API, regression, and load testing.
