## About

I’m a Senior SDET / Quality Engineer with 5\+ years of experience helping product companies ship faster with confidence through strong automation, scalable test frameworks, and release ownership\. Currently at Endowus, I work across API, Web, and Mobile automation, with 95% of my role focused on building and maintaining automation that directly improves engineering speed and product quality\. My work goes beyond writing test cases — I focus on solving business and engineering bottlenecks\. I’ve successfully scaled E2E automation coverage across critical platforms, reduced production release pipeline time from 20 minutes to 4 minutes, improved release stability, and built internal AI\-powered tools that reduce repetitive work for developers and QA teams\. What makes me different is that I think like an engineer, not just a tester\. I enjoy: • Building robust automation frameworks • Solving flaky test and CI/CD pipeline issues • Improving release confidence and production readiness • Using AI to reduce manual effort and speed up delivery • Partnering with developers, product teams, and platform engineers • Driving quality from design to production Core Tech Stack: Playwright • TypeScript • Scala • Cucumber • Maestro • API Testing • CI/CD • GitHub Actions • Jenkins • Selenium • If you're hiring someone who can own quality end\-to\-end, improve engineering velocity, and bring an automation\-first mindset — let’s connect\.
