About

I don’t just find bugs; I build the systems that prevent them. With 10+ years in software quality engineering, I help high-growth tech teams ship faster without breaking things. I know that manual testing bottlenecks and fragile automation slow down releases. I solve this by architecting scalable, CI/CD-integrated test frameworks that make quality a seamless part of the development lifecycle. As a Senior SDET, I specialize in: 🔹 API & UI Automation (Playwright, Selenium) , Security Testing (Burp Suite) 🔹 CI/CD Pipeline Integration 🔹 AI-Driven Testing (Certified in AI & Claude Code) 🔹 K6 and Artillery (Load Testing Tools) My journey spans diverse domains—from HealthTech (Fluent Health) and EV mobility (Elocity) to EdTech and Gaming. Across these industries, I’ve scaled test infrastructure, translated complex technical requirements into automated quality gates, and significantly reduced release risks. I believe the best QA is invisible to the end-user but invaluable to the engineering team. I’m deeply passionate about leveraging AI to make testing smarter and more efficient. If you’re building a resilient product and need robust test infrastructure, let’s connect!
