What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or Europe-based opportunities focused on Playwright, CI/CD quality engineering, shift-left testing, and scalable automation, where I can improve release quality, accelerate delivery, and collaborate with Agile engineering teams.

At HCL Technologies, I automate 70–80% of regression coverage with Selenium and Python, cutting regression execution time by approximately 50%. I also build API automation suites that increase backend coverage by around 65% and integrate continuous testing into Jenkins pipelines.

I've supported quality engineering across HCL Technologies, Acads360, and Groupon, covering large-scale applications through manual and automated testing, framework development, test documentation, defect reporting, and release-quality improvements.

I'm particularly interested in Playwright, CI/CD quality engineering, shift-left testing, and scalable automation, and I enjoy mentoring junior QA engineers while collaborating in Agile delivery cycles.
