About

Senior SDET with 6+ years of experience building automation frameworks, CI/CD quality gates, and release-validation systems for distributed products. At Cohesity, I work on Playwright UI automation, backend/API automation, NoSQL backup and recovery validation, failure-mode testing, and release qualification for customer-impacting workflows. Previously at Amazon Lab126, I improved Matter MTS automation stability from 42% to 96%, built CI/CD validation workflows, and helped reduce production issues through stronger automation coverage, release gates, and defect triage. Core strengths: Python, Playwright, Selenium, REST API automation, PyTest, MongoDB/NoSQL validation, distributed systems testing, CI/CD, Docker, AWS, and release qualification.
