About

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with a focus on test automation using Playwright and TypeScript, data validation, and end-to-end web & API testing. I thrive in data-driven SaaS environments, shaping scalable automation frameworks, improving QA processes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams in Agile settings.

My background includes Python-based financial systems, which strengthens my analytical thinking, root-cause investigation, and system-level quality assurance. I enjoy partnering with developers and product owners to refine requirements, shift-left defects, and ensure data integrity across complex data workflows, APIs, databases, file ingestion, and messaging systems such as Kafka and MQTT.
