What I'm looking for

I seek senior QA/SDET roles where I can own automation strategy, stabilize CI/CD, mentor teams, and deliver reliable end-to-end test coverage for SaaS products.

I am a Senior SDET with 9 years of experience owning test strategy, automation frameworks, and CI/CD reliability for enterprise and B2B SaaS platforms. I specialize in Playwright-based UI automation, API testing, framework migrations, and stabilizing pipelines to reduce flakiness and accelerate release cycles.

I have led end-to-end QA for web and desktop products, designed hybrid automation frameworks (TypeScript, C#, Playwright, Selenium, Ranorex), and implemented CI/CD integrations using Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to qualify requirements, ensure coverage across ERP systems, and deliver measurable improvements in test efficiency and release confidence.
