Senior QA automation engineer driving CI/CD-integrated testing and scalable automation solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience in automation testing and DevOps, focused on improving testing efficiency and product quality.
I have built and maintained automation frameworks using Selenium (Java), REST Assured, Cypress, POM and TestNG, and integrated test suites into Jenkins and GitHub CI/CD pipelines to enable automated nightly runs and faster releases.
My work has reduced test execution time and manual effort by ~30% and decreased post-release bugs by ~40% through reusable scripts, API automation, and scalable test environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
