What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior remote SDET or QA Automation Lead roles with internationally distributed teams, where I can build and scale automation, integrate CI/CD quality gates, and drive measurable improvements in coverage, speed, and defect escape reduction.

I’m a Lead SDET and Automation Engineer with 10+ years across the full software quality lifecycle. I built enterprise-grade C# Selenium and Playwright automation frameworks from scratch, taking test coverage from near zero to 90% and cutting regression cycle time by 88%—from 3 days to under 6 hours across 500+ test cases.

I’m hands-on with BDD using SpecFlow and Gherkin, plus API testing with Postman/Swagger and OAuth 2.0. I integrate smoke, sanity, and regression suites into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline quality gates, deliver stakeholder-ready dashboards with Allure/ExtentReports, and validate UI, cross-browser/mobile behavior with BrowserStack, and performance with JMeter/Playwright.
