What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on building scalable automation, improving test strategy and quality, mentoring teams, and integrating tests into CI/CD in Agile environments.

I am a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering robust UI and API automation solutions across telecom, insurance, and finance domains. I focus on scalable automation frameworks, CI/CD integration, and measurable quality improvements that accelerate releases.

I've implemented and scaled automation suites using Playwright, Cypress and Selenium WebDriver, built API frameworks, integrated reporting (Allure, Mochawesome) and leveraged tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins and AWS to validate backend data. I improved test coverage substantially across multiple projects and reduced manual regression effort through automation.

I mentor and lead junior QA engineers, drive test strategy and planning, and collaborate closely with developers and product owners in Agile environments to ensure high-quality, reliable deliveries.
