What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and lead scalable UI and API automation, strengthen CI/CD quality feedback, and apply AI-assisted engineering to improve test design, coverage, and release reliability.

I've built scalable UI and API automation frameworks for UBS Business Solutions, NICE, GSPANN, Xpanxion, and Accenture across banking, cloud, e-commerce, and enterprise platforms.

At UBS, I built Playwright and Karate frameworks, increased service-level automation coverage from 60% to 80%, and reduced regression feedback cycles by 35% through Jenkins and GitLab CI integration.

I've led teams of up to 12 engineers, owning test strategy, sprint planning, PR reviews, defect triage, release sign-offs, and stakeholder communication. I also use AI-assisted engineering and prompt techniques to improve test design, code reviews, API validation, and scenario generation.

My work spans Playwright, Selenium, TypeScript, Java, REST APIs, SQL, CI/CD, cross-browser testing, performance validation, and data quality testing. I focus on making regression suites reliable, maintainable, and useful for confident release decisions.
