At Palo Alto Networks, I lead quality engineering for a cloud-native enterprise security SaaS platform across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba Cloud. I built Python/Pytest automation for APIs, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud workflows, increasing automation coverage from 50% to 90%.

I've owned regression qualification, release readiness, customer build certification, production debugging, and CI/CD testing, while mentoring four junior automation engineers. Earlier, I built Intel IoT automation across REST APIs, Linux, Android, Web UI, BIOS, and hardware validation.
