Senior SDET specializing in automation, performance, and cloud-native database testing.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test with 9+ years designing and executing test strategies for cloud-native, SaaS, and managed database platforms. I build and maintain scalable Python-based automation frameworks for API, database, and performance testing, integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines, and drive reliability and production readiness for distributed systems.
I led migrations from legacy Perl frameworks to pytest, reduced regression cycle time by 30–50% through pipeline optimization, and mentored junior SDETs on best practices. My work spans performance and scalability validation, upgrade testing, and close collaboration with DevOps and SRE teams using observability tools like Grafana.
