What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead automation strategy, improve CI/CD testing velocity, work with cloud-native infrastructure, and mentor teams toward resilient, high-quality releases.

I am a versatile Test Automation Engineer with over five years building robust automation for web and backend systems, leveraging cloud technologies and CI/CD pipelines to speed delivery and improve quality.

I designed and implemented comprehensive automated testing suites using Cypress, Playwright, Locust, and GitHub Actions, reduced regression testing time by up to 63%, and led teams delivering major platform releases ahead of schedule while ensuring resilience under peak traffic.

I partner closely with product and client stakeholders to define QA strategy, architect multi-region resilient infrastructure, and operationalize testing with Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, and observability tools to maintain high uptime and continuous validation across the SDLC.
