Senior SDET engineering AI-augmented test automation frameworks to cut regression time and strengthen quality in Agile delivery.

What I'm looking for

I want to build and lead AI-augmented test automation frameworks (web, API, and data pipelines) that reduce regression time, strengthen CI/CD reliability, and help teams ship confidently in Agile. I’m excited to collaborate closely with Dev and Product.

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.
