I build scalable QA automation for banking, payments, and mortgage applications.
What I'm looking for
At EY GDS, I build and maintain scalable test automation solutions for Banking & Financial Services applications.
Previously at Capgemini, I led automation engineering for a mortgage process optimization project, architecting hybrid UI and API frameworks with Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, REST Assured, and WireMock. I translate complex financial requirements into test plans, scenarios, and execution strategies alongside business stakeholders and product teams.
I’ve reduced bug-related delays by 25% and improved overall code quality by 15% through automation, defect tracking, root-cause analysis, and close developer collaboration.
My work spans UI, functional, regression, integration, API, database, and accessibility testing. I also mentor junior QA team members on Playwright and BDD practices while continuing to strengthen my Quality Engineering skills.
