QA Engineering Specialist

About

I am a QA Automation professional with 10+ years of experience in designing and implementing scalable automation frameworks across App, Web, API, and performance testing. I specialize in WebdriverIO, Playwright, RestAssured, Chrome DevTools (MCP), with strong practical exposure to CI/CD practices and cloud platforms such as AWS. My experience spans both B2B and B2C applications in the Ecommerce and Finance domains, working within Agile teams to deliver high‑quality, reliable software solutions. I also explore modern testing and automation approaches, including creating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers as proof‑of‑concepts to enhance automation extensibility and integration. I am known for my analytical mindset, clear communication, and a strong commitment to improving software quality through robust, end‑to‑end test strategies.
