About

With 6+ years of experience in international environments, I help engineering teams ship faster by building reliable, scalable test automation frameworks — not just writing tests. Across global projects and cross-functional teams, I specialize in Java, JavaScript, Selenium-Cucumber, Playwright, and RestAssured API — integrated end-to-end into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps & Jenkins). Some things I've delivered: → Reduced flaky test rate by 40% through stability-focused framework redesign → Built reusable Selenium framework adopted across multiple project teams → Increased regression coverage significantly via API & UI automation → Designed scalable test architecture for multi-environment execution → Integrated automated test suites directly into CI/CD pipelines Beyond tooling, I focus on test architecture — making automation maintainable, readable, and trustworthy for the long term. Experienced with Angular-based UI testing and enterprise-grade applications across diverse international teams. Outside of work, I run a bug hunting series on LinkedIn where I analyze publicly accessible web applications and share real-world UI, functional, and UX bugs — driven by a passion for quality and attention to detail that goes beyond the 9-to-5. 📩 Open to SDET / QA Automation Engineer roles.
