I am a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 8+ years of experience delivering high-quality, compliant, and scalable testing solutions for enterprise and government-grade platforms. My background spans manual testing, automation, API validation, backend data verification, accessibility (ADA/Section 508), performance testing, and CI/CD quality engineering. I specialize in building robust automation frameworks using Java, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, Cypress, REST Assured, and TestNG, with a strong focus on microservices architectures and distributed systems. My experience includes validating RESTful APIs, performing Oracle-to-MongoDB data migration testing, implementing A/B API comparison frameworks, and ensuring contract and schema consistency across environments. Beyond automation, I bring strong expertise in accessibility compliance, secure testing practices, observability, and performance engineering using tools such as JMeter, Splunk, Grafana, and Datadog. I have worked extensively in Agile environments, contributing to test strategy, traceability, defect analytics, and release readiness. I’m recognized for my ability to bridge QA and development, mentor teams, and drive test maturity through shift-left practices, CI/CD integration, and continuous improvement. My goal is to build testing systems that are not only automated, but reliable, auditable, and aligned with real business outcomes.
