Senior QA Automation Engineer driving scalable test automation and quality.

What I'm looking for

I seek a role to lead and scale test automation, integrate CI/CD and cloud-native testing, mentor teams, and improve release quality within collaborative, engineering-driven organizations.

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer (SDET) with 8+ years of experience building scalable automation for data-driven SaaS platforms. I specialize in UI and backend/API automation and focus on improving release quality through reliable test strategies.

At AlphaSense I owned automation strategy across UI, API, and integration layers, designed a hybrid framework using Java, Playwright, Selenium, Rest-Assured, and TestNG, and improved test execution reliability to 88% while reducing execution time by ~40%.

I have hands-on experience integrating automated suites into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Testkube, working with AWS services (SQS, S3, DynamoDB), and applying observability tools like Grafana and Prometheus for faster root-cause analysis. I also contributed to performance validation using k6-based load tests.

I mentor junior engineers, participate in design and grooming discussions to improve testability, and leverage LLM-assisted workflows to accelerate test design and data generation. I seek roles where I can drive quality, automation maturity, and reliable delivery in fast-paced engineering teams.
