What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own mobile + web test strategy, build durable automation frameworks, and use AI/LLM tools to speed diagnosis, reduce flakiness, and strengthen release sign-off through robust CI/CD collaboration.

I’m a Senior SDET with 10+ years across mobile and web automation, applying AI tools to accelerate engineering decisions. I’ve owned test strategy, automation frameworks, and release sign-off across native iOS/Android and web applications, with hands-on work in Appium (Ruby) + Cucumber on real devices, plus Cypress, Playwright, and Selenium.

In my most recent role, I reduced automation flakiness from 94 → 21 failures across an 870-test suite by stabilizing locators and optimizing core library functions—improving CI reliability and unblocking faster release cycles. I also lead major migrations (Appium 1.22 → 2.3) and use LLM tools for dependency mapping, root-cause analysis, and exploratory problem-solving, including CI pipeline reconfiguration and framework edge cases.
