I specialize in Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript), API automation with Postman, CI/CD integration via Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and AI-assisted test case generation.
During a planned career break from 2019 to 2021, I upskilled extensively in modern automation frameworks and AI testing tools. I am currently engaged in freelance QA for OTT platforms and am seeking a challenging SDET/QA Automation Engineer role with immediate joining, open to remote work.
