What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end QA automation that ships fast—owning CI/CD pipelines, shift-left validation, and AI-assisted test workflows for mobile and platform teams while improving coverage, quality velocity, and release confidence.

I’m a Lead SDET with 11+ years delivering scalable automation across mobile (iOS/Android), backend, web, and platform domains. I specialize in CI/CD architecture and AI-augmented test workflows, and I’ve led end-to-end QA ownership from feature planning and shift-left validation through post-release impact analysis.

My proudest results include driving iOS automation to 85% across ~500 critical test cases with XCUITest + Xcode + Swift, scaling Indus App Store multi-OEM automation from 11% to 65% using a unified Java + Cucumber + Appium codebase, and building PR-level CI/CD execution with GitLab CI, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions. I also integrate AI tools like Claude AI, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini into daily debugging and pipeline automation—turning faster delivery into measurable release confidence.
