I’m looking for an Agile team where I can build and scale Playwright-based QA automation and API validation, manual testing, integrate tests into CI/CD with quality gates, and partner with developers. I’m open to relocation and value mentoring and measurable release improvements.

I’m a Senior SDET specializing in QA automation, APIs, and scalable Playwright frameworks for Agile teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior SDET & QA Automation Engineer with 8 years of experience delivering end-to-end software quality for enterprise web, cloud, and microservices-based applications. I focus on building automation that actually reduces effort and improves release confidence—especially through scalable Playwright frameworks and strong API validation.
In my recent role, I architected a scalable Playwright automation framework using JavaScript and Page Object Model (POM). By automating UI, API, and end-to-end regression suites, I reduced manual testing effort by 60% and integrated quality gates into Azure Pipelines and Jenkins CI/CD workflows.
I’ve also built automation from scratch and scaled it quickly—covering 200+ UI and API scenarios—and improved delivery speed by integrating test suites into Jenkins pipelines to reduce release validation time. I handle defect lifecycle management through disciplined tracking and reporting using tools like JIRA and TestRail/TestLink.
What I bring to teams is both technical depth and collaboration: I use REST API automation and microservices testing to validate service contracts and data integrity, and I mentor junior QA engineers through code reviews and knowledge sharing. I’m comfortable pairing with developers, product managers, and UX teams in fast-paced Agile delivery, and I leverage AI-assisted workflows for test case generation and debugging.
