What I'm looking for

I seek a QA leadership or senior automation role where I can build automation strategy, integrate CI/CD, mentor teams, and apply AI evaluation to improve product quality and reduce release risk.

I am a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with seven years of experience building scalable UI and API automation frameworks, integrating tests into CI/CD, and leading QA teams to deliver higher-quality releases. I have driven measurable improvements—reducing post-release defects, accelerating feedback cycles, and increasing automated test coverage—while applying performance testing and data-driven validation across web, mobile, and backend systems.

I blend software testing expertise with AI evaluation, having designed RAG-LLM evaluation frameworks using RAGAS and DeepEval and leveraged Python and OpenAI-generated datasets to reduce hallucinations and improve retrieval quality. I mentor teams, define automation strategy, produce QA documentation, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to shorten iteration cycles and improve release confidence.
