About

I am a Senior SDET with 7 years of experience in test automation for web and API-based applications. I focus on building practical, maintainable automation solutions that make testing faster and more reliable. Most of my work has been around Java, Selenium, Rest Assured, Playwright, Cucumber, SQL, Docker, and CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions. I enjoy working across UI and API layers and improving automation where it adds real value. I have worked in the banking and payments domain with companies like Citi and Mastercard, which taught me the importance of stable releases, clear communication, and strong quality processes. Currently, I am working as a Senior SDET at Tietoevry, focusing on test automation, framework improvements, and supporting teams with cleaner and more efficient releases. Areas I enjoy working on: • UI & API automation • Java, Selenium, Rest Assured, Playwright • Cucumber (BDD) and TestNG • CI/CD integration (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) • SQL and backend validation • Docker for containerized testing setups I am also learning more about AI and exploring how it can make testing smarter and more efficient. Always open to connecting, learning, and sharing ideas.
