What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on SDET/automation leadership role where I can design scalable test frameworks, integrate CI/CD, mentor teams, and drive measurable efficiency and quality improvements in a collaborative, agile environment.

I am a results-driven Principal Software Development Engineer in Test with over 11 years of experience building enterprise-scale automation frameworks that drastically reduce testing time and boost efficiency. I specialize in test automation architecture, performance testing, and integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines.

Across roles in Bangladesh, UAE, Canada, and the U.S., I designed and implemented scalable frameworks from scratch, led automation efforts that cut testing time by up to 80%, and improved operational efficiency by 30%. I mentor teams in automation best practices, evaluate and introduce cutting-edge tools, and ensure strong collaboration between QA, development, and product stakeholders.

I seek to apply my technical breadth — from Python, Playwright, Selenium, and JMeter to Docker, Jenkins, and cloud platforms — to deliver reliable, fast, and maintainable testing solutions that enable continuous delivery and high-quality software releases.
