What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior test automation role where I can lead automation strategy, improve regression cycles, integrate CI/CD, and promote accessibility and quality.

I am a Senior Test Automation Engineer with 10+ years building robust end-to-end automation frameworks and leading cross-functional teams to deliver production-grade quality. I specialize in Playwright and WebDriverIO, JavaScript/TypeScript, visual regression and accessibility testing.

At recent roles I architected a Playwright framework for an OpenFin banking app that reduced regression execution time by 60%, created 700+ component tests achieving 85%+ production coverage, and implemented visual regression to cut UI defect leakage by 30%.

I bring strong CI/CD and DevOps integration experience with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, hands-on mobile and device testing (Appium, BrowserStack), and a commitment to accessibility (WCAG 2.1). I seek a senior test engineering role focused on automation, quality engineering leadership, and continuous improvement.
