What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering team where I can lead automation efforts, improve test coverage, integrate CI/CD, and shorten release cycles while growing technically.

I am a detail-oriented Senior QA Automation Engineer with seven years of experience in manual and automated testing for web, SaaS, and mobile platforms. I specialize in Playwright, Cypress, Postman, SQL, and CI/CD integrations (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and have driven measurable improvements such as 40% higher test coverage and 30% shorter regression cycles.

I have led test automation initiatives, automated 50+ regression and functional tests, and achieved 95% pre-release defect detection by integrating automation into pipelines and linking test cases to Jira stories for end-to-end traceability. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure timely, high-quality releases and consistently find high-severity defects early in the SDLC.
