What I'm looking for

I seek SDET/automation roles where I can build maintainable test frameworks, collaborate in Agile teams, and improve test coverage and CI/CD quality.

I am a results-driven Software Development Engineer in Test with five years of experience transitioning from a QA Engineer role, skilled in designing, developing, and implementing test automation frameworks that improve efficiency and coverage across UI, DB, and API layers. I collaborate with cross-functional teams, participate in Agile ceremonies, and drive quality through test planning, execution, and reporting.

At Ellucian and UnitedHealth Group I engineered a Cucumber BDD automation framework, implemented JDBC for PostgreSQL back-end validation, automated API testing with REST Assured and Postman, and used Selenium WebDriver to reduce manual effort and post-release defects. I emphasize maintainable frameworks (POM, Page Factory), CI/CD integration, and clear test documentation to deliver timely, high-quality releases.
