I am a Senior SDET with 8 years of experience delivering automation, performance engineering, and cloud testing solutions across enterprise environments. I specialise in automation framework architecture (SpecFlow, C#, JavaScript), performance and load testing (JMeter, Tsung), and AWS-based testing with migration support. I also integrate CI/CD pipelines and enable parallel test execution in cloud environments. I am open to contract roles in the UK, remotely, or within the EU. In my recent roles, I designed scalable automation frameworks and led AWS migration performance testing, delivering measurable improvements in regression time, throughput, and resilience. I mentor QA engineers and collaborate across engineering teams to align testing with business objectives.
