What I'm looking for

I seek senior-level roles focused on enterprise test automation, framework architecture, and data-integrity validation within collaborative, CI/CD-driven teams that value scalability and release quality.

I am an analytical, systems-oriented Software Development Engineer in Test with 7+ years strengthening quality engineering across enterprise web, financial, and analytics platforms. I specialize in end-to-end validation across UI, APIs, backend services, and data pipelines, and I have driven automation coverage improvements, scalability, and release confidence.

I have advanced automation framework architecture, CI/CD-integrated testing, and risk-based testing practices while mentoring engineers and contributing to governance standards. I leverage Java and Python toolchains, SQL and Snowflake for backend validation, BDD for cross-functional collaboration, and AI-assisted tools to accelerate test development while ensuring security and maintainability.
