About

Professional summary

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer with more than seven years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining automated testing solutions for web applications, APIs, mobile applications, and enterprise systems.

I build scalable, maintainable automation frameworks using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver, Appium, and REST API testing tools. I focus on end-to-end, UI, API, regression, functional, integration, and smoke testing.

I have strong experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines and improving release confidence through parallel execution, reusable test components, and continuous regression testing.

I collaborate closely with software engineers, product teams, and Agile stakeholders to investigate defects, validate business rules, identify risks, and improve testing strategies across the software development lifecycle.

I am ISTQB certified and committed to engineering best practices, test stability, code reuse, continuous improvement, and delivering reliable software.
