What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on automation strategy, CI/CD optimization, and performance testing in an Agile team where I can mentor others and improve release reliability.

I am a Senior QA Engineer with 8+ years of experience driving automation strategy, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and delivering high-quality web and mobile applications. I have led framework implementations that reduced test execution time substantially and introduced performance testing practices to identify and resolve critical bottlenecks.

I excel in Agile, cross-functional environments where I mentor QA engineers, own end-to-end automation for UI, API, and integration testing, and implement scalable processes that improve release reliability and test coverage. My hands-on experience includes Cypress, k6, Jenkins, and a variety of API and test management tools.
