About

SDET with 10+ years of experience designing and scaling test automation across API, UI, mobile, performance, and data layers — for SaaS and data platform teams that ship fast and break nothing. I build automation systems, not just test scripts. From framework architecture and CI/CD integration to production incident triage on AWS, I own quality end-to-end alongside engineering teams. What I bring to a team: · Designed Python (PyTest) and Playwright (TypeScript) frameworks from scratch — covering API endpoints and multi-browser UI flows, integrated with CI/CD and Allure reporting · Automated large-scale regression suites with Selenium WebDriver (Java), converting manual test cycles into repeatable, fast feedback loops · Executed API testing using Postman/Newman across REST services — validating contracts, error handling, and business logic · Performed performance testing with JMeter and Locust — load tested critical flows and surfaced bottlenecks before production · Conducted ETL & Data Warehouse testing: source-to-target validation, transformation rule verification, incremental/full load testing using SQL and Python · Led mobile testing on iOS and Android via real devices and BrowserStack · Investigated production issues with AWS CloudWatch, Cognito, and S3 — bridging QA and DevOps responsibilities · Collaborated with developers, data engineers, and product managers across Agile sprints at 6+ companies I follow TDD, POM design patterns, and own sprint quality from estimation to retrospective. Tech: Python · PyTest · Playwright (TypeScript) · Selenium WebDriver (Java) · Postman/Newman · REST API · SQL · Shell Scripting · AWS · JMeter · Locust · BrowserStack · Allure · GitHub Actions · Jira Open to Senior SDET / QA Automation Engineer / Test Architect roles at product companies working on SaaS, cloud, or data platforms.
