What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead QA automation strategy, build scalable test frameworks, mentor teams, and align product and quality to drive reliable delivery and business outcomes.

I am a Senior Software QA Automation Engineer who blends deep QA and automation expertise with product ownership to deliver scalable, reliable testing solutions that align with user needs and business goals. I have led automation strategy and execution—building TypeScript/Playwright/Cucumber suites, scaling to 6,000+ tests, and reducing runtime from 10+ hours to under 2—while championing shift-left testing, SAFe Agile practices, and cross-functional collaboration.

As a mentor and SME, I train teams, standardize business logic across applications, and introduce near real-time data feeds and visualization to improve decision-making and reporting. I guided a customizable analytics dashboard as Product Owner, partnered with stakeholders to meet compliance-driven deadlines, and led initiatives that contributed to company recognition and acquisition.
