Lead Quality Engineer specializing in automation, DevOps, and chaos testing.
What I'm looking for
I am a Lead Quality Engineer with over 12 years of experience building scalable automation frameworks and enterprise testing solutions. I specialize in translating complex business and system requirements into robust, maintainable automation tools using Java, TypeScript, Cucumber, Karate and Playwright.
I have led automation efforts at Fidelity Investments, creating end-to-end test scenarios, integrating XRAY, and improving CI/CD pipeline efficiency via Jenkins and Bitbucket. I have driven high test coverage, reduced manual efforts, and delivered defect-free deployments through rigorous API, UI and white-box testing.
My work emphasizes resilience and reliability — I have implemented chaos engineering practices with Gremlin and conducted performance testing to identify and mitigate system vulnerabilities. I also implemented accessibility automation, ReportPortal and Sealights to strengthen quality visibility and reduce technical debt aligned with Sonar quality gates.
I collaborate closely with cross-functional Agile teams to align automation goals with sprint objectives, mentor peers, and continuously improve processes. I hold certifications in Azure and Gremlin and bring strong cloud, DevOps and test-strategy expertise to drive reliable software delivery.
