QA Manager and Lead Quality Engineer specializing in automation and AI-driven testing strategies.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic QA Manager and Lead Quality Engineer with deep experience building automation frameworks, scaling QA processes, and mentoring teams to deliver high-quality software. I have implemented automation from scratch using Playwright, Cypress, Appium, WDIO, SpecFlow and applied cloud CI/CD pipelines to improve release confidence.
I champion AI-powered QA practices—intelligent test generation, predictive defect analysis, self-healing automation and flaky test detection—bringing measurable benefits such as reduced manual scripting effort and faster defect triage. I embed shift-left testing, collaborate closely with product and engineering teams, and report actionable quality metrics to leadership.
