Available to hire
I am a QA Architect with around 18 years of software testing experience, spanning manual, automated, performance, and mobile automation. I have led teams across global delivery models and directed automation initiatives for Fortune 500 clients in regulated industries. I thrive on building scalable automation architectures, integrating AI-assisted tooling, and guiding cross-functional teams toward high-quality software releases.
My strengths include designing robust automation frameworks from scratch using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Appium, and Robot Framework; scripting in TypeScript, Python, Java, and Shell; and embedding AI-assisted debugging and test generation into CI/CD pipelines. I am passionate about improving efficiency, reducing defect leakage, and promoting a quality-first culture across organizations.
