I am a QA Automation Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and implementing robust automation frameworks using Selenium, Java, and Cucumber for enterprise and web-based applications. I specialize in integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and I build API and microservices validation using RESTful services. I enjoy collaborating across teams in Agile environments to raise product quality, optimize regression suites, and mentor junior engineers on automation best practices. In my spare time I stay curious about new testing strategies and best practices, and I enjoy sharing knowledge through documentation, code reviews, and cross-functional collaboration to accelerate software delivery while maintaining high quality.
