About

Professional summary

I am a Software Development Engineer in Test specializing in test automation, with more than two years of production experience supporting enterprise applications in a regulated financial environment.

I build and maintain reliable automated test suites using Java, Selenide, Selenium, Cucumber, SQL, and Oracle validation. My work spans UI, API, and database layers, with a strong focus on regression coverage, defect analysis, and safe release cycles.

I have led automation framework modernization efforts, including a migration from Selenium to Selenide and a JDK 17 platform upgrade, while preserving regression coverage and improving suite stability. I also create reusable Java utilities to reduce flaky tests and manual QA effort.

I am experienced in backend-to-frontend validation through REST Assured, Postman, SQL, and Oracle. I investigate application behavior, business logic, and framework-level failures to identify root causes and improve release confidence.

Beyond QA automation, I independently develop full-stack software. I am building and releasing a mobile running application using React Native, Spring Boot, Supabase, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, and authentication workflows.

I bring a quality-focused engineering mindset to both testing and product development, applying structured testing, edge-case handling, and reliability practices throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

Career history

Software Engineer – Test Automation Bank of America

I owned automated test suites for enterprise web applications using Java, Selenide, and Cucumber, maintaining dependable regression coverage across multiple release cycles in a regulated financial environment. I led the migration from Selenium to Selenide and stabilized automation tooling after a JDK 17 upgrade without losing regression coverage.

I diagnosed failing tests by tracing application behavior, business logic, and framework-level issues, improving suite reliability and reducing false failures. I performed SQL and Oracle-based data validation, built reusable Java utilities, and extended test coverage through REST Assured and Postman API testing to identify backend-to-frontend inconsistencies before production.
