I am a QA Automation Engineer with experience building test frameworks from scratch, improving automation coverage, and ensuring high-quality releases for large-scale products. I’ve worked in cross-functional teams with backend engineers, frontend engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver reliable, user-focused software. My background includes developing automation using Playwright, Selenium, Appium, and API testing tools, as well as designing structured manual tests for complex user flows. I’ve contributed to measurable improvements such as reducing regression effort, increasing automation stability, and raising overall product reliability. What makes me stand out is my ability to view quality from four perspectives: as a QA, as an engineer, as a user, and as a product owner. This helps me detect risks early, communicate clearly, and propose solutions that balance speed and quality. I am passionate about building efficient testing systems, improving developer experience, and helping teams ship great products with confidence
