What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior QA Automation role where I can own end-to-end web/mobile/API testing, build reliable frameworks, integrate into CI/CD, and collaborate closely with developers to raise quality early—ideally in regulated, high-throughput environments.

I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 10 years of experience designing and maintaining end-to-end test frameworks across web, mobile, and API layers in regulated and high-throughput domains.

I build reliable automation suites with Cypress / TypeScript and Postman / Newman, and earlier framework-level work with Selenium and Java. I comfortably own the full QA lifecycle—from test strategy and exploratory testing to automation, CI / CD pipeline integration, and release validation.

In recent roles, I maintained Cypress / TypeScript end-to-end suites for core admin workflows and expanded Postman / Newman API collections for authentication, configuration, backup & restore, and device lifecycle. I also improved Azure DevOps CI pipeline reliability, authored VST documentation for feature delivery, and collaborated directly with developers to raise quality early—reviewing PRs and pushing for stronger assertions and shared validation logic.
