What I'm looking for

I want a role where I can own mobile/web automation, keep CI/CD smoke and regression pipelines reliable, and collaborate in Agile delivery. I’m excited to grow automation coverage and reduce manual effort using smart testing approaches.

I’m a results-driven automation professional with 6 years of experience in automated testing for web and mobile applications. I build scalable automation frameworks that deliver comprehensive coverage across platforms and devices, with a strong focus on early failure detection.

I monitor daily smoke test and production health pipelines, embed automation into CI/CD, and use tools like BrowserStack to validate stability before releases. I author and maintain BDD/Gherkin feature files and step definitions (ReqnRoll/C#/.NET), execute end-to-end regression suites, and investigate failures to separate true defects from flaky/environment issues.

My work also spans API and workflow automation (Postman, SQL, Node.js/.NET/Angular environments), including push notifications, QR code scanning, document scanning, SMS, and email workflows on Android and iOS. I’ve improved automation productivity with AI-assisted test automation using Claude Code and I collaborate closely in Agile/Scrum to align with business goals.
