What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior/managerial QA role where I can lead automation strategy, build scalable frameworks, mentor teams, and deliver high-quality releases in an Agile, collaborative environment.

I am a QA Technical Manager with over 12 years of experience delivering manual and automated testing across web, desktop, and mobile platforms. I lead test strategy, design and implementation of scalable automation frameworks using Appium, Selenium, TestNG and POM, and ensure robust test coverage through collaboration with developers and stakeholders.

Throughout my career I have built automation frameworks from scratch, driven API and database testing, and managed defect lifecycles in tools such as JIRA, Bugzilla and Azure. I consistently ensure timely delivery of automation activities, mentor team members, and conduct KT and technical documentation to raise team capability.

My strengths include test planning, execution and reporting, hands-on experience with mobile Android automation and desktop testing, and strong knowledge of Java, SQL and CI/CD tooling like Jenkins. I focus on practical, creative solutions to meet quality and deadline goals.
