Quality Automation Engineer / SDET with 7+ years of experience designing and implementing scalable automation frameworks across web, API, and functional testing. Skilled in Cypress, Selenium WebDriver, and BDD (Cucumber), with a strong track record of building maintainable, data-driven test suites that accelerate delivery and improve product quality. Experienced across Energy, Banking, and E-commerce domains, I have validated designs with Figma/Storybook, automated APIs using Postman/Swagger, and integrated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Maven, TeamCity). Adept in Agile environments, I collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to ensure high-quality releases. Key highlights: Built a Cypress UI automation framework improving team onboarding and reducing regression effort by 40%. Automated end-to-end workflows for Citi and Inchcape projects, enabling faster releases and fewer production defects. Introduced data-driven and cross-browser frameworks that improved coverage and reduced manual testing overhead. Experienced in SQL and log analysis (Amazon Timestream, CloudWatch) to monitor performance and ensure reliability. I am passionate about driving test automation maturity, mentoring teams, and delivering business value through high-quality solutions
