What I'm looking for

I want to build and transform quality through advanced, scalable test automation—AI-assisted testing, MCP agents, and shift-left strategies—while working with dynamic international teams to deliver high-quality software.

I’m a Senior Software QA & Test Automation Engineer (SDET) with nearly 10 years of engineering background and 6+ years of specialized QA and automation across IT, medical devices, and defense. I’m results-driven about continuous learning, and I focus on building test strategies that improve reliability, speed, and confidence—especially in international, collaborative environments.

Currently, I collaborate remotely with Germany-based engineering teams via Toptal to architect and deliver end-to-end automation strategies for large-scale software projects. I design scalable automation frameworks for web UI, API, and embedded systems using Playwright and TypeScript, alongside Cypress and modern CI/CD pipelines—while also championing shift-left testing and AI-powered testing approaches.

What sets my work apart is how I connect engineering with smarter quality: I integrate AI-assisted testing tools, use MCP (Model Context Protocol) automation agents in CI pipelines, and apply AI-driven ideas like synthetic test data generation, self-healing automation, and visual AI testing (Applitools). At CyanGate, I helped increase test coverage from 40% to 85% and reduced critical defects by 60%, integrated E2E/Smoke/Regression into Jenkins, and built a dynamic Mockoon environment to accelerate delivery—without sacrificing traceability or clarity.
