## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build and improve test automation for distributed and networked software platforms, collaborating with development and infrastructure teams on high-quality releases.
```

## About

```text
At VMware by Broadcom, I build and maintain Python-based Selenium UI automation for VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi), supporting functional, regression, smoke, sanity, and exploratory testing.

I built UI automation for the Pulse Portal from the ground up and automated Upgrade and Upgrade with GSLB workflows, identifying 44 product defects, including two release blockers. I also validate Service Engine networking, deployment workflows, NAT, DNS, and load-balancing functionality.

I work closely with developers to reproduce defects and validate fixes, using Wireshark, browser developer tools, application logs, and backend diagnostics for root-cause analysis. I also use Claude AI and Cursor AI to find coverage gaps, generate automation logic, and debug failures faster.
```
