Available to hire
I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 16+ years of experience building reliable UI, API, and data-validation test automation for Banking, Financial Services, and Automotive teams. I enjoy designing maintainable automation frameworks (Cypress with Cucumber/BDD and modern Playwright approaches), strengthening test strategy and traceability, and creating fast feedback loops that help teams ship with confidence.
I collaborate closely with Product Owners, developers, and QA peers to identify risks early, improve defect reporting quality, and integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins. I’m also hands-on with deep-dive SQL and ETL validation to ensure data accuracy end-to-end, and I take pride in mentoring others while continuously improving automation standards and quality metrics.
