Senior SDET engineering AI-augmented test automation frameworks to cut regression time and strengthen quality in Agile delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior SDET with 6+ years of expertise architecting robust test automation frameworks across web, API, and Big Data domains. I lead quality-first delivery in Agile/Scrum environments by building scalable suites, tightening CI/CD reliability, and improving shift-left practices that reduce defect escape rates.
In my current role as a Sr. Test Automation Engineer at Atheneum, I scaled a Cypress-based E2E automation suite that reduced regression execution time by ~40% and improved nightly pipeline reliability by ~30%. I also integrate AI-augmented workflows—using GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, MCP Server, and prompt engineering—to accelerate test development, cut boilerplate, and reduce test design time by ~25%.
Previously, at 10 Pearls I led a team of 4 SDETs and delivered end-to-end Cypress automation from scratch for a clean energy client, while executing API performance testing with JMeter and automating Postman-driven validation workflows. Earlier at Global Tranz, I built a Data Lake automation testing framework using Python, Boto3, and AWS services, and improved Selenium regression coverage by ~30%—while acting as a primary QA liaison in client-facing delivery.
