What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA automation role where I can build scalable UI and API frameworks, improve test stability, and reduce manual effort—collaborating in Agile teams to align coverage with user stories and drive reliable releases.

I’m a results-driven Senior QA Automation Engineer with 6+ years of hands-on experience building robust UI and API automation solutions. I focus on cutting manual testing effort by improving stability, coverage, and execution confidence across Agile cycles.

I leverage Python and Java to drive automation that spans Selenium WebDriver and Playwright for UI, and Pytest for REST API testing. I also validate backend behavior through AWS CloudWatch log validation and DynamoDB data verification, while using MySQL queries to ensure transaction integrity.

In recent roles, I designed critical regression scenarios that achieved a ~35% reduction in manual testing effort, led a Playwright proof-of-concept to modernize UI automation, and optimized regression suites to reduce cycle time. I’m comfortable partnering with teams across Azure DevOps and release processes (including Octopus Deploy) to align test coverage with user stories and acceptance criteria.
