What I'm looking for

I want to grow in a role where I can own quality for automation and data-intensive releases—driving CI/CD, performance and cross-browser validation, collaborating across teams, and improving test strategy from planning to defect resolution.

I’m a results-driven Senior Quality Engineer with 10.4 years of experience in Automation Testing and Functional Testing, combining Selenium (Java) and Rest Assured with data-intensive validation across millions of records.

I lead end-to-end testing initiatives across Manufacturing, Educational, Production, and Logistics domains, managing CI/CD pipelines, cross-browser testing, performance testing, and complex migration scenarios with strong ownership of test suites and defect lifecycle in Jira.

I also collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders—stepping in as Scrum Master when needed, driving sprint planning and knowledge-sharing workshops, and ensuring clear reporting through Confluence—while continuously upskilling in areas like Mulesoft training and Agentic AI Testing.
