Available to hire
I am a detail-focused Senior QA Automation Engineer with extensive experience extending automation frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Cucumber, Postman, Rest Assured and TypeScript, along with C# and Java toolsets. I thrive on building reusable components, applying Page Object Models and advanced patterns to deliver reliable regression suites, and I maintain a strong CI/CD mindset with Azure DevOps. I work across API automation, integration testing, Kafka event flows and end-to-end scenarios requiring functional depth and system awareness. I am comfortable in financial services environments where accuracy and compliance are essential, and I enjoy refining regression packs and improving framework standards in a collaborative, cross-squad setting. I also have foundational knowledge of AI concepts, agentic testing and model validation.
