What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead quality and automation end-to-end—building frameworks, improving regression delivery, and partnering with stakeholders to raise standards in an Agile environment.

I’m a Quality Assurance Engineer with 10+ years of software quality assurance experience, specializing in manual and automation testing. I’ve built and maintained automation testing frameworks using Selenium, Appium, and Java, then improved regression coverage and delivery efficiency with tools like Playwright and TestNG.

I’ve also led QA efforts across multiple concurrent projects, ensuring stability and high-quality releases in high-volume environments. As a QA Engineer / Team Lead at ICMarkets, I established performance testing strategies for a major Forex and CFD broker, and at BuildFire I led the QualityAssurance team—managing task distribution, performance monitoring, and mentoring to raise testing standards across global applications.
