With 9+ years in Quality Engineering, I specialize in designing scalable Test Automation Frameworks, integrating CI/CD pipelines, and driving AI-powered testing strategies that actually move the needle. Currently at Taylor & Francis, I've: * Reduced regression cycle time by 60% using Playwright automation * Cut release cycles from 5 days to 2 days via GitHub Actions CI/CD * Achieved 70.80% automation coverage across critical IAM workflows * Mentored 4–6 QA engineers on automation best practices I work across Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), Postman, JMeter, and Power BI — and actively leverage Claude AI to accelerate test script generation. Beyond tools and frameworks, I care deeply about quality culture — building teams that think in systems, not just test cases. -> Open to Senior/Lead QA roles | Let's connect!
