I am a hands-on Test Automation Engineer with extensive experience in enterprise software testing, automation framework development, and CI/CD integration. I have worked across Linux and Windows platforms, web applications, network devices, virtualization, and cloud environments, delivering robust automated validation and end-to-end system validation. I design and implement automation using Python, Selenium WebDriver, PowerShell, and Bash, and I integrate tests into Jenkins and GitLab CI within Agile teams. I enjoy root cause analysis, regression testing, and cross-functional collaboration to continuously improve product quality and delivery speed. I leverage AI-assisted tooling to accelerate automation development, log analysis, and troubleshooting, and I collaborate closely with partners like Microsoft to reproduce issues and validate patches. I stay curious about emerging technologies and strive for continuous improvement in quality engineering practices.
