I am a versatile Software Developer and QA Automation Specialist with hands-on experience in building, testing, and deploying scalable applications across frontend, backend, and cloud environments. Over the past few years, I have worked extensively with Java (Selenium, Rest Assured), Node.js (Playwright, Vitest), Spring Boot, Angular, delivering high-quality solutions for both web and mobile platforms. My work includes: Designing and implementing automated test frameworks for e-commerce and enterprise systems. Developing API integrations with Microsoft Graph and Google Maps to optimize consultant scheduling and travel time calculations. Building and deploying CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD) and containerized environments with Docker. Conducting WCAG 2.1 accessibility testing to ensure inclusive user experiences. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge development and quality assurance, ensuring not only functional but also efficient and user-friendly systems. I also bring experience as a team lead and learning specialist, where I guided learners and engineers in adopting best practices. I thrive in problem-solving environments and bring a balance of technical depth, leadership, and adaptability—whether working onsite, remotely, or across international teams.
