What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my expertise in automation testing to drive quality and efficiency.

As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 14 years of extensive experience, I specialize in software quality assurance and automation testing. My expertise lies in designing robust automation frameworks and developing comprehensive test plans for frontend, backend, and cloud-based applications, particularly on AWS. I am proficient in Agile methodologies, CI/CD integration, and microservices testing, which has enabled me to significantly enhance software quality and reduce critical defects in production environments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered end-to-end testing solutions in various high-impact projects, including a recent role as a QA Consultant for a FinTech startup where I implemented an automation framework that saved over 30 manual testing hours per sprint. My commitment to quality is reflected in my ability to improve test coverage and streamline testing processes, leading to faster deployment cycles and improved defect tracking. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of continuous improvement within teams.
