About

Transitioned from Automobile Engineering into Software Quality Assurance, with hands-on experience in API testing, test execution, and automation. I help engineering teams ship faster — without sacrificing quality. With 8+ years in software quality assurance, I specialize in building automation frameworks that scale. At TELUS Digital, I architected a Selenium-Java suite that cut regression cycles by 40%, enabling the team to move from monthly to bi-weekly deployments. I also pioneered AI-assisted test scripting with GitHub Copilot, reducing maintenance overhead by 40%. My toolkit: Selenium WebDriver · Rest Assured · Python · Java · Postman · Jenkins · Jira · GitHub Copilot What I bring beyond tools: I bridge the gap between QA execution and business outcomes. I've maintained 95% defect-free release rates across high-traffic applications, mentored junior engineers into automation practitioners, and partnered with global stakeholders to build test strategies that stick.
