I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 7+ years of experience driving shift-left testing, test automation, and quality leadership across large-scale enterprise and cloud-native systems. I am proficient in Python, Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium, with proven success in building CI/CD-integrated frameworks and leading test data strategy initiatives using synthetic data generation and masking. I have a strong background in API/UI automation, BDD/TDD, and quality metrics management (test coverage, defect leakage, flakiness, test debt). I mentor teams and collaborate across engineering, UX, and DevOps to enhance testability, observability, and reliability in distributed systems. I am passionate about elevating product quality, usability, and release confidence by embedding quality throughout the SDLC and advocating for robust testing practices, observability, and data-driven decisions.
