SDET @ Kendal AI | Building AI Workflows for Real Estate teams | Test Automation & Quality Engineering

About

Senior QA Consultant / SDET II with 5 years of experience in product-driven environments, currently at Kendal. I operate as a QA–Developer hybrid. I don’t just test what’s built, I question what should be built, identify risks early, validate real user flows, and fix issues in code wherever I can. Quality is engineered during development, not verified at the end. Focus areas: - Risk detection before development - Backend & API reliability - Scalable test automation - Contributing development fixes Tools: Cypress, Playwright, Appium, RestAssured, Postman, JMeter, k6, Docker Reduced regression effort by ~60% and improved release confidence. Outside work, you’ll usually find me gaming, breaking side projects, or learning how systems fail—because that curiosity doesn’t switch off. Open to global collaboration, QA consulting, and roles where quality is a shared engineering responsibility.
