What I'm looking for

I seek a senior QA/quality-engineering role where I can lead automation strategy, mentor teams, scale frameworks, and drive measurable release quality improvements in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a Senior QA Team Lead with over 14 years of experience designing and delivering Python-based test automation for enterprise, platform, and distributed systems. I architect scalable frameworks, maintain CI/CD pipelines, and drive 85%+ automated coverage to improve release confidence and reduce regression defects.

I have led and mentored distributed QA teams, defined end-to-end quality strategies, and owned release readiness across multiple product cycles. I collaborate closely with product, engineering, and infrastructure teams to align quality objectives with business goals and introduced shift-left and risk-based testing practices.

My contributions include building reusable automation frameworks adopted across products, modernizing regression suites, and establishing QA processes and metrics that provide clear visibility into risks and delivery health. I promote a quality-first culture focused on shared ownership and continuous improvement.
