I am a results-driven Senior QA Engineer with over 12 years of experience in manual and automation testing, leading teams and building scalable frameworks using Playwright, Selenium (Python), Cypress, and related tooling. I define QA strategies, integrate automation into CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab), and drive high-quality product delivery in Agile environments.

I have led strategic initiatives such as a Cypress-to-Playwright migration that cut licensing costs by 40% and improved execution stability by 30%, and I built a no-code backend automation tool that reduced testing effort by 80%. I routinely integrate observability and performance checks (Lighthouse, CloudWatch, NewRelic) to ensure production stability and faster triage.

I actively apply AI in QA—using tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, Ollama, and Cursor—to accelerate test creation and orchestration, and I mentor teams to increase quality impact and reduce production defects. I am focused on delivering scalable automation, improving release confidence, and embedding AI-enhanced methodologies into QE workflows.
