Available to hire
I am a software testing professional with 16+ years of experience across manual, automation, API, web, performance, security, and mobile testing. I have delivered automation solutions using Selenium, Appium, Spring, REST Assured, TOSCA, JMeter, and CI/CD pipelines, with domain experience in Banking, Retail, and Finance. I thrive in shift-left Agile environments and enjoy building robust, scalable test automation frameworks.
In recent UK engagements, I led automation efforts for Virgin Money, Santander Bank, and Bank of America projects, mentored large teams, and integrated CI/CD workflows. I recently completed a comprehensive GitHub Copilot course and implemented a PoC to demonstrate how Copilot can boost coding efficiency and reduce errors in real-world projects.
