What I'm looking for
I am an Automation Test Engineer with about 10 years of experience in IT services, focused on improving software quality through robust test automation and CI practices.
I design, develop, and execute automated functional and performance test scripts using Selenium WebDriver, REST API testing, Core Java, Python, JMeter, Jenkins and Git, and have reduced testing effort and increased efficiency in production environments.
I have led end-to-end testing activities across desktop, web, API and mobile platforms, built and enhanced automation frameworks, and implemented monitoring with tools like BlazeMeter, Dynatrace and Splunk to proactively detect issues and ensure SLA compliance.
I collaborate with distributed cross-functional teams, support production releases and system upgrades, and aim to deliver scalable, maintainable automation that accelerates reliable software delivery.
