At Authority Partners, I built and maintained C# Selenium and Appium automation frameworks, cutting regression run time by 40% and reducing manual regression from five days to four hours.

I integrated automated regression testing into Azure DevOps pipelines and used Cucumber and Gherkin scenarios to connect business specifications with test execution. I also tested API performance with JMeter and validated backend data with SQL.

At Roaa Tech, I led a QA team across three product lines and defined CI strategies for web and mobile apps that reduced production defect leakage by 25%. Earlier, I developed an Appium framework for Android and a REST API testing collection with Postman.

My work has spanned web, mobile, API, and ERP testing, alongside software development with Laravel and Angular. I also earned a PhD in Software Engineering researching automated testing of event-driven software systems.
