What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, fast-paced team role where I can lead test automation, improve CI/CD quality, apply AI skills, and solve complex product challenges.

I am a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test with deep experience building and scaling automation frameworks for financial and construction software products. I deliver robust API, UI, and integration test coverage using Java, C#, Python, Selenium, and modern CI/CD practices to improve release quality and reduce manual effort.

At Trimble and Viewpoint I increased targeted test coverage, automated large portions of manual testing, and implemented data-validation strategies using MongoDB and MySQL queries that caught critical defects early. I have practical experience with BDD, test automation frameworks, Jenkins, Git, and observability tools to streamline delivery pipelines.

I recently completed six months of applied AI coursework and work with LLM and retrieval technologies such as LangChain, Pinecone, embeddings, FastAPI and PostgreSQL, ready to contribute as a full-stack engineer who brings strong test-first thinking, autonomous problem solving, and collaboration with developers and product teams.
