@shawncardozo
Experienced SDET specializing in automation, API testing, performance, and CI/CD practices.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an SDET with ~11 years in IT and services, focused on improving software quality through automation and continuous integration. I design, develop, and execute automated test scripts for functional and performance testing across web, desktop, mobile and API layers.
My work includes building and enhancing automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, Core Java, Python and JavaScript, and integrating tests with CI tools like Jenkins and Git. I also perform API testing (Postman, Rest Assured) and real-time monitoring (BlazeMeter, Splunk, Dynatrace).
I have delivered measurable improvements—such as increasing testing efficiency by 92% through automation—and designed performance test scenarios in JMeter to identify bottlenecks. I collaborate with distributed cross-functional teams across time zones and support production releases, upgrades, and incident investigations.
I am results-driven, focused on scalability and reusability of test assets, and eager to contribute to teams seeking robust automation, reliable CI/CD pipelines, and effective performance validation.
