What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my automation skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I’m a QA Automation Engineer with over 5 years of experience in building and maintaining test automation frameworks across web, API, and mobile platforms. I’ve worked at companies like Outlier, Insight Dev, and Software AG, where I implemented tools like Selenium, Cypress, Appium, and Postman to streamline testing and reduce regression effort. I hold an MSc in Computer Science from Queen Mary University of London, and I’m certified in ISTQB, Selenium, and Cypress. I’m passionate about automation, improving QA processes, and working in collaborative, fast-paced teams.
