What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on scalable test automation, API and performance testing, CI/CD-driven delivery, and opportunities to mentor teams and improve release quality.

I am a Senior SDET with 10 years of experience building scalable automation frameworks for backend and frontend applications, emphasizing shift-left testing and AI-driven productivity improvements.

I have implemented API automation frameworks using Ruby, REST-Assured, and tools like Selenium, Appium, Postman, and Cucumber, reducing manual effort and accelerating regression cycles.

My work includes performance testing with JMeter and Locust, cloud and DevOps practices with GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines, and designing mock services to eliminate external dependency bottlenecks.

I mentor junior engineers, drove measurable quality improvements (reduced defects and faster releases), and seek to bring pragmatic automation, performance insight, and team enablement to delivery-focused engineering organizations.
