What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead and scale test automation efforts, mentor engineers, integrate tests into CI/CD, and improve product quality in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am an experienced QA engineer with a decade-plus background in building maintainable, scalable test automation frameworks for web, API, and mobile applications. I have led automation efforts using Playwright, Appium, and Python, integrated tests into CI/CD pipelines, and enabled reliable, repeatable testing across UAT and production environments.

I have a strong track record of mentoring and onboarding QAs, improving automation coverage (including achieving 100% automated smoke testing), and integrating databases and cloud services into automated verification (Firestore, MySQL, GCP). I prioritize maintainability, developer collaboration, and measurable quality outcomes.
