What I'm looking for

I seek a senior QA/automation role in an Agile team where I can architect automation, integrate CI/CD, mentor engineers, and improve quality for mission-critical systems.

I am a Senior QA Engineer with 7+ years of experience in manual and automated testing, specializing in Selenium WebDriver with Java and Python, API testing with Postman, and end-to-end QA across web, mobile, and backend systems.

I have led QA teams and initiatives in Agile environments for retail, pharmacy, and financial domains, architecting hybrid automation frameworks (Selenium, Cucumber, TestNG, Maven, Page Factory) and integrating tests into Azure DevOps pipelines to reduce manual testing by over 60% while improving release reliability.

I mentor engineers, drive process improvements, and maintain audit-ready QA artifacts using JIRA, Quality Center, and Confluence, focusing on test coverage, defect reduction, and compliance for mission-critical applications.
