About

Professional summary

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer and SDET with extensive experience designing quality engineering strategies, scalable automation frameworks, and release quality gates for complex software systems.

I specialize in web, mobile, API, backend, and data-pipeline testing using Playwright, Selenium, Appium, Java, Python, and Scala. I build maintainable automation architectures based on clean-code practices, Page Object Models, and data-access patterns.

I have led QA teams and enterprise-wide testing initiatives in domains including payments, trading, capital markets, cybersecurity, and ETL data platforms. My work includes validating REST APIs, gRPC services, WebSockets, databases, and asynchronous Kafka event streams.

I am experienced in CI/CD quality engineering with Azure Pipelines, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and cloud platforms including AWS, GCP, Azure, and Linode. I focus on data integrity, resilient test infrastructure, efficient execution, and high-confidence releases.

I also apply Generative AI and prompt engineering to accelerate test-case generation, documentation, and intelligent test coverage. I am ready to apply my quality engineering and AI-assisted testing expertise to challenging software quality initiatives.

Career history

Lead SDET - QA Strategy & AI-Assisted Testing Andela

I orchestrate enterprise-wide quality engineering strategies and comprehensive test planning, serving as a primary quality gate for cross-functional product releases.

I architect scalable automation frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, and Appium for web, API, and responsive UI validation. I also developed an AI-assisted testing strategy using prompt engineering to accelerate test-case generation and expand intelligent test coverage.

I engineer CI/CD quality gates in Azure DevOps and Azure Pipelines for backend systems involving REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka event streams.

Automation Strategy Lead Equiti Group

I designed a unified multi-module automation framework using Playwright, Appium, and WebSockets to validate real-time trading systems across products. I also built an in-house mobile device farm with 10 dedicated iOS and Android nodes for parallel execution.

I implemented scalable clean-code automation architecture using DAO patterns and Page Object Models. I led and mentored a team of four QA engineers across three product verticals and helped strengthen hiring and QA operations.

I introduced agentic QA initiatives using Generative AI and prompt engineering to automate more than 200 TestRail cases. I deployed Azure Pipelines with Microsoft Teams reporting for automated WebSocket and API validation of trading workflows.

Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) Akamai Technologies

I developed scalable Scala automation suites for complex Spark-based ETL data pipelines supporting an enterprise threat detection and intelligence reporting system.

I migrated critical test infrastructure from Azure to Linode, improving pipeline reliability and performance. I partnered with data engineers through peer reviews and merge-request validation to diagnose pipeline anomalies and enforce reliable data delivery.

QA Lead & Senior QA Engineer Gojek

I led end-to-end QA for the GoPay Checkout payment SDK and loan lifecycle management systems, acting as a primary risk mitigation authority for merchant and user transaction flows.

I engineered automation for REST APIs and gRPC services, and performed backend state validation across PostgreSQL, Redis, and asynchronous Kafka streams. I also facilitated engineering design reviews, unit-test coverage discussions, and release planning.

I created a Java resource-pooling mechanism to improve high-volume API test execution efficiency. I also developed a Python data-validation framework for a high-risk AWS-to-GCP migration, enforcing schema checks and preventing data corruption.

Software Developer In Test (SDET) TestVagrant Technologies

I worked as a specialized QA consultant deployed at Gojek, where I architected data-validation suites for the GoPay Checkout SDK and transactional workflows.

I authored automation frameworks with Java, Rest Assured, and Appium, while maintaining CI pipelines for continuous automated regression testing.

Consultant Genpact Headstrong Capital Markets

I developed Python automation scripts and custom Robot Framework keywords to ensure requirement coverage for capital-market workflows.

I translated complex business rules into BDD/Gherkin acceptance criteria while applying DRY and single-responsibility principles. I also built Python data-generation utilities capable of creating datasets of up to 9 million records for performance, load, and stress testing.

Senior QA Automation Engineer 3Pillar Global

I worked as a Senior QA Automation Engineer, contributing to automated quality assurance and software testing initiatives.

Software Engineer Infogain

I established automation frameworks using Python, Selenium, and Java.
