I bring 16+ years of QA & Test Automation experience, with a strong mix of: * Automation Architecture & Strategy * Designing scalable frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, C#) * Building CI/CD-integrated quality pipelines * Driving shift-left and test optimization strategies * Leadership & Delivery * Leading both automation and manual testing teams * Working closely with senior stakeholders, clients, and suppliers * Delivering projects under tight timelines and high-pressure environments * Modern Tooling & Practices * Playwright + NUnit + structured logging * Selenium Grid (Kubernetes/K3s setup) * Cucumber, TestNG, parallel execution strategies * Leverage AI to make automation and QA/WE process quicker faster and mature I have worked across high-demand, quality-critical industries, which is a big differentiator: * Investment Banking * High focus on accuracy, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance * Experience with complex, data-driven systems * Sports Domain * Likely fast-paced, high-availability platforms * Real-time or near real-time user interactions Architect + Leader Combination I am not just managing teams—but I am — * Designing frameworks * Defining strategy * Influencing engineering practices 2. Depth in Modern Automation * Playwright with C# (still relatively niche and in demand) * Parallel execution and performance-aware frameworks * Experience integrating automation into CI/CD From investment banking experience: * Risk-based testing mindset * Focus on stability, auditability, and traceability * Ability to work in complex, regulated environments Strong Communication & Stakeholder Handling * Comfortable working with senior management and external clients * Able to challenge, influence, and drive quality culture Continuous Improvement Mindset * Exploring Kubernetes-based Selenium Grid * Looking into retry strategies, CI/CD, and framework resilience.…I bring 16+ years of QA & Test Automation experience, with a strong mix of: * Automation Architecture & Strategy * Designing scalable frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, C#) * Building CI/CD-integrated quality pipelines * Driving shift-left and test optimization strategies * Leadership & Delivery * Leading both automation and manual testing teams * Working closely with senior stakeholders, clients, and suppliers * Delivering projects under tight timelines and high-pressure environments * Modern Tooling & Practices * Playwright + NUnit + structured logging * Selenium Grid (Kubernetes/K3s setup) * Cucumber, TestNG, parallel execution strategies * Leverage AI to make automation and QA/WE process quicker faster and mature I have worked across high-demand, quality-critical industries, which is a big differentiator: * Investment Banking * High focus on accuracy, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance * Experience with complex, data-driven systems * Sports Domain * Likely fast-paced, high-availability platforms * Real-time or near real-time user interactions Architect + Leader Combination I am not just managing teams—but I am — * Designing frameworks * Defining strategy * Influencing engineering practices 2.
