About

Professional summary

I am a Senior SDET with over 9.5 years of experience building and scaling automation frameworks for web, API, microservices, mobile, CRM, eCommerce, and SaaS platforms.

I specialize in Java-based test automation using Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber BDD, REST Assured, TestNG, JUnit, and Maven. I design maintainable page-object-model, modular, and data-driven frameworks that improve regression speed and release confidence.

I have extensive experience validating REST APIs, backend data, integration contracts, schemas, and negative scenarios. I use SQL and MySQL to verify data integrity and propagation across application layers and microservices.

I work closely with Product and Engineering teams in Agile/Scrum environments, taking ownership of quality from requirements analysis and test planning through automation, defect triage, and release sign-off.

I have led QA automation initiatives, tooling proof of concepts, CI/CD improvements, and technical mentoring for engineering teams. I use GitHub Copilot and Claude daily to accelerate framework development, debugging, and test-script authoring.

I am experienced with Jenkins pipelines, Git-based workflows, BrowserStack, AWS, Linux, and macOS. I focus on creating stable, scalable automation solutions while continuously improving test coverage, delivery efficiency, and product quality.

Career history

Lead SDET — Web & Mobile Automation Eli Lilly

I own more than 150 Selenium and Cucumber BDD automation scenarios using page-object-model and data-driven layers. I resolved recurring CI pipeline bottlenecks to stabilize regression coverage across frequent release cycles.

I use GitHub Copilot and Claude daily for framework development, debugging, and test-script authoring, including expanding API test coverage adopted by the team. I author compliant test plans and RTMs for a regulated SDLC and validate backend data through SQL queries.

I lead tooling proof of concepts, provide technical direction to four engineers, and mentor team members through code reviews and BDD workshops.

Lead QA Engineer — CRM SaaS Platform Heathrow Airport

I served as the sole senior QA engineer and subject-matter expert for an enterprise aviation CRM platform, owning test strategy, delivery planning, and QA accountability across releases for 28 months.

I built a Selenium and BDD automation solution from scratch for a dynamic component-based UI, including shadow DOM and dynamic locator handling. I also ran a scripted-versus-scriptless tooling proof of concept that informed the client framework selection.

I trained and mentored three QA engineers and integrated automation into Jenkins CI, reducing manual regression effort per sprint by 60%.

Lead QA Automation Engineer — SaaS Web Platform Takeda Pharmaceutical

I designed a Selenium and Cucumber BDD page-object-model framework from scratch with reusable step definitions and data-driven layers, reducing regression cycle time by 65%.

I performed Postman-based REST API testing across development, QA, and staging environments, validating integration endpoints and response contracts. I also hosted and configured an AWS application server for a performance-testing proof of concept.

I acted as the primary QA contact in Agile ceremonies and delivered BDD and Jenkins pipeline training to four engineers.

Senior QA Automation Engineer — Web & API Automation Toyota

I led the API automation workstream, creating a Java and REST Assured suite covering more than 80 REST endpoints in a microservices architecture. The suite included schema validation and negative testing, reducing manual API testing effort by 70%.

I used SQL queries to validate MySQL backend data integrity and confirm data propagation across services. I also integrated automation suites into Jenkins CI with parallel execution and failure alerting.

I introduced weekly defect-density and escape-rate metrics to improve quality reporting and release visibility.

QA Engineer — Manual & Automation Maui Jim

I built a Selenium and Cucumber BDD automation framework from scratch for an eCommerce SaaS platform. I delivered more than 120 automated scenarios across product, cart, checkout, payment, and order-management workflows.

I managed the full Jira defect lifecycle across functional, regression, and UAT test cycles. I also mentored two junior QA engineers in automation and quality practices.
