About
I’m a results-driven Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 14+ years designing, implementing, and optimizing test automation frameworks to boost software quality and accelerate releases. I’ve built and evolved automation platforms across API, UI, mobile, and performance testing, always focusing on reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
I’ve led cross-functional teams, mentored engineers, and embedded automation into CI/CD pipelines. I thrive on turning complex requirements into robust automation strategies, driving innovation, and delivering measurable value through self-healing tests, data-driven checks, and close collaboration with product and development teams.
