-Automation with API integration: Built Momentic flows that call the Notion API to create pages, generate rich block types, and manage structured content during test runs. Connected automation scripts with Notion AI to dynamically branch test flows based on model responses. -AI model training & prompts: Curated datasets, ran prompt experiments to boost accuracy and cut false positives, and created reusable AI-based regression/functional test scripts to accelerate cycles. Led high-volume AI labeling to improve model quality. -Cross-platform orchestration: Linked Notion/Notion AI with Linear, Jira, GitHub, SharePoint, and Google Drive for hands-free data sync, task creation, and automated reporting—reducing manual effort and turnaround time. -Comprehensive QA & security: Functional/System/Regression/Re-testing for web & mobile; iOS (Xcode) and Android (Android Studio); cross-browser/device via BrowserStack. Ran production-data load tests in staging/test. Performed vulnerability scanning & basic pentesting with Burp Suite, with results surfaced in CI/CD. -Data & experimentation: Implemented Firebase for mobile analytics and event tracking. Used Statsig for controlled experiments and feature flagging; monitored feature performance to guide rollouts. -Agile & collaboration: Drove test estimation, plans, design, RTM, test case creation & execution, daily test/release reports, and defect tracking in Notion. Active in sprint planning, standups, reviews, retros, and mentored new team members. -Version control & CI/CD: Managed automation repos via GitHub (PRs, reviews) and integrated automated testing/security checks into pipelines for faster, safer releases. Tooling/Stack: Momentic, Notion AI, Linear, Jira, GitHub, SharePoint, Google Drive, Xcode, Android Studio, BrowserStack, Firebase, Statsig, Burp Suite, CI/CD (GitHub-based).
