I’m a QA Lead and quality engineering specialist with 10+ years of experience shaping test strategy, automation, and shift-left quality across web, mobile, and back-end products. I enjoy mentoring QA engineers and partnering with developers so testing becomes something teams do earlier and more effectively—using requirement reviews, risk-based approaches, and clear quality ownership. Hands-on, I build and evolve automation platforms with Playwright and TypeScript, integrating them into CI/CD workflows on GitHub Actions to deliver fast, reliable feedback for pull requests and releases. I also use AI-assisted test selection to run the most relevant coverage based on pull-request “blast radius,” so teams avoid repeatedly executing the entire suite and instead focus on what matters most for product value.…I’m a QA Lead and quality engineering specialist with 10+ years of experience shaping test strategy, automation, and shift-left quality across web, mobile, and back-end products.
