I build API, UI, and mobile automation frameworks that reduce release risk.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own and improve quality automation across API, UI, and mobile products, building reusable frameworks, strengthening CI/CD validation, and collaborating closely with engineering and product teams.

At Nordea Bank, I own API automation for complex banking workflows, building Java 17, REST Assured, Cucumber, and JUnit 5 regression suites that reduced manual regression effort by more than 80%.

I've designed reusable UI, API, and Android automation frameworks from scratch at INSART, SoftServe, and Medstar Solutions. My work has cut release testing time by 50%, increased automated coverage by 75%, and helped reduce defects reaching production by 30%.

I work across banking, fintech, real estate, healthcare, education, and e-commerce, combining automation strategy, CI/CD integration, code reviews, mentoring, and hands-on investigation of failures. I use GitHub Copilot and approved internal AI tools to accelerate quality engineering while independently validating every output.
