I'm a QA and DevOps engineer with 13+ years of experience building, breaking, and securing production systems. Three of those years I spent as a Staff Quality Engineer at Okta — testing auth flows, SAML/OIDC integrations, session management, token lifecycle, API behaviour, and enterprise identity edge cases from the inside. I design structured test plans, build Playwright and Postman-based automation frameworks, and do the kind of exploratory testing that finds what automated suites miss — including DB-level manipulation to validate token revocation, permission boundary testing across roles, and cross-service integration validation. On the infrastructure side I manage AWS end-to-end in production — EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route53, IAM, CloudWatch, EKS. I've built Prometheus + Grafana + Loki monitoring stacks from scratch, maintained GitLab CI and Jenkins pipelines, led large-scale repository migrations, handled production security incidents, and hardened infrastructure against credential exposure and access drift. The combination matters: I test like an engineer and build like someone who's been on call. When something breaks I don't just log a ticket — I trace it through the stack, find the root cause, and make sure it doesn't break the same way twice. I work async-first, document everything, and communicate clearly. I don't need hand-holding and I don't disappear when things get complicated. Core skills: Playwright · Postman · Okta · SAML/OIDC · AWS · Docker · Kubernetes · GitLab CI · Jenkins · Prometheus · Grafana · Linux · PostgreSQL · Python · JMeter · SonarQube
