Available to hire
I am a QA professional with a passion for building robust automation that scales. I design modular automation frameworks and enterprise-grade test suites that work across brands and international variants, and I love turning testing insights into actionable decisions for teams and leadership.
I thrive under pressure, collaborate across all levels of the organization, and continuously drive innovation in test processes to maximize efficiency and quality. I’m especially motivated by self-healing automation, accessibility and visual regression testing, and delivering fast feedback through effective CI/CD integrations.
