Quality Assurance Engineer at Amazon

About

Versatile QA/SDET engineer with a track record of resolving complex problems, improving quality outcomes, and driving the best possible user experience in fast-paced, agile environments. My work sits at the intersection of test automation, CI/CD enablement, and AI-driven quality tooling — turning slow, manual, and fragile testing into fast, reliable, and self-sustaining pipelines. Test Automation Frameworks: Built a next-generation UI automation framework (Playwright, TypeScript) delivering 6-8x faster execution than the legacy Selenium framework and reducing new-test authoring from days to hours via AI-assisted test generation. Architected a multi-module API automation framework (Java) covering an entire ingestion → certification → publishing lifecycle with reusable API layers across 8+ backend services — adding end-to-end regression coverage where none previously existed. Deep experience building frameworks with TestNG, Cucumber, and SpecFlow in Java and .NET. CI/CD & Cloud: Designed and delivered a centralized end-to-end test orchestration system on AWS (Lambda, EventBridge, Athena, S3, SNS) enabling fully autonomous, scheduled test execution across environments — a foundational enabler for Continuous Deployment. Hands-on with AWS application deployment, Jenkins, and Git-based CI/CD workflows. Test Strategy & Optimization: Led a data-driven regression suite optimization — reduced test cases by ~28%, and cut daily execution from ~4 hours to ~90 minutes using a tiered gating strategy. Skilled in test strategy, test case design, and test suite management (ALM Octane, IBM Rational) within Agile delivery. AI & Innovation: Built an AI-powered test gap detector using Amazon Bedrock and a RAG knowledge base (Titan Embeddings, OpenSearch) that analyzes production incidents to surface missing test coverage — shifting quality from reactive to proactive. Specialized Testing: Experienced in performance/load testing (JMeter), security and vulnerability testing aligned to OWASP Top 10, and backend automation with PowerShell. Reliability & Ownership: Led a platform migration with ~60% cost reduction; and led an emergency database recovery restoring 250K+ records with zero business-day disruption. I take ownership of complex, high-stakes problems, dive deep to root causes, and leave behind well-documented systems that teams can confidently own and scale.
