Lead Test Engineer with 10+ years in manual, automation and API testing, mentoring QA teams.
What I'm looking for
I am a Lead Test Engineer with over a decade of experience in manual, automation and API testing, focused on delivering reliable software for high-priority projects. I have hands-on experience building and maintaining automation frameworks using Playwright, Cypress and Selenium, and I routinely use tools like Postman and Rest Assured for API validation.
In leadership roles I've mentored teams, reviewed test artifacts, owned RTM and release quality, and integrated testing practices with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab. I have strong exposure to JavaScript-based automation, MySQL/MongoDB/Redis environments, and Agile methodologies including TDD and BDD.
I consistently collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to finalize requirements, plan test strategies, and drive timely deliveries while minimizing defect leakage. I seek opportunities to grow technically and lead larger QA initiatives where I can continue mentoring and improving quality processes.
