What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team that values shift-left QA, AI-assisted test automation, and CI/CD quality gates. I want to build and scale fast, reliable frameworks that improve release speed, protect production, and trust customers.

I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer delivering end-to-end software quality across web, mobile, API, and distributed systems for 7+ years. I architect reliable automation frameworks in Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, and Appium—driving regression coverage above 90% while compressing release cycles by 60%.

I embed shift-left practices, AI-assisted test generation, and CI/CD quality gates that help prevent defects from reaching production. In my recent work, I built and scaled hybrid POM and Playwright/TypeScript frameworks, including scaling to 4,200+ tests across multiple product lines.

I partner closely with engineering leads on quality strategy—using Pact contract testing and close collaboration to cut production defects 38% YoY. I’ve also improved build feedback time dramatically by establishing CI/CD quality gates with parallel Docker runners, reducing feedback from 55 minutes to 12 minutes.

I mentor teams (6 QA engineers via pairing and reviews) and continuously modernize test execution with Docker-based pipelines. I bring an AI-assisted QA mindset—using tools like Copilot and Testim for faster authoring, and self-healing locator approaches to reduce upkeep and keep teams moving quickly.
