About

Professional summary

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer and QA Lead with over 10 years of experience in building scalable test automation solutions across web, mobile, and APIs. My expertise lies in Java, JavaScript, and Python, with hands-on experience in Selenium, Cypress, and Appium. I have a proven track record of improving release quality and speed through CI/CD integration, API automation, and risk-based testing strategies. I am experienced in cloud-native systems, microservices, and event-driven architectures.

Throughout my career, I have designed and implemented scalable test automation strategies using tools like Cypress, Playwright, and Postman-Newman, driving an automation-first approach across teams. I have integrated automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable faster releases and managed test execution, reporting, and release workflows through Azure DevOps pipelines and test plans.

I lead accessibility testing initiatives by validating applications using tools such as Lighthouse and Axe DevTools, along with screen readers and keyboard navigation testing, ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. I perform cross-browser, cross-device, and responsive testing to ensure consistent user experience across different environments.

I leverage AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to accelerate test case generation, identify edge cases, and improve test coverage. My experience also includes performance and monitoring tools like JMeter, Grafana, and Datadog, as well as cloud and DevOps technologies including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, GitHub, and GitLab CI/CD.

I have led distributed QA teams, collaborated closely with DevOps teams, and supported testing in cloud-native environments. I am passionate about mentoring teams, recommending testing strategies, and continuously improving QA processes. I am fluent in English and a strong team player with outstanding organizational and interpersonal skills.

In my free time, I enjoy playing cricket and football, gardening, cooking, and travelling. I am ISTQB certified and hold an MBA in Big Data Analytics, complementing my technical skills with business insights.
