Test Automation and Framework Engineering • Built and maintained 300+ automated test cases in Robot Framework and Python across UI, CLI, and API layers for the DefensePro product line, expanding regression coverage with every release cycle. • Raised nightly regression pass rate from 30% to 70% by eliminating flaky waits, unstable locators, and race conditions, restoring confidence in overnight results and reducing manual re-runs. • Refactored framework internals to remove hardcoded platform dependencies, making all test suites platform-agnostic and executable across multiple hardware SKUs without code changes. • Architected Page Object Model (POM) structures with JSON-based locator maps per device variant for Playwright -based UI automation via Radware CyberController, isolating locator changes to a single layer and eliminating script rework after UI redesigns. • Developed reusable Python keyword libraries and JSON-driven test data sets, enabling parameterized runs across diverse hardware configurations and eliminating code duplication. • Automated newly released CLI commands each sprint by extending the Composite MenuItem tree with new command nodes and authoring matching Robot Framework keyword libraries, so new functionality entered the regression suite in the same development cycle. • Used GitHub Copilot with targeted prompt engineering for efficient token utilization, accelerating authoring of Python keyword libraries and Robot Framework test cases. • Triaged nightly failures by correlating Robot Framework logs, Linux system logs, and device output; raised defects with reproducible evidence every release. • Managed Git branching, merge requests, and code reviews; operated Jenkins nightly, sanity, and build-validation pipelines with daily result triage. Functional, Configuration and API Testing • Executed end-to-end UI, functional, and workflow testing of DDoS mitigation policies, protection profiles, and configuration flows across the full DefensePro

QA Automation Engineer | Robot Framework · Python · Network Security I build the automation that validates DDoS mitigation at scale. At ACL Digital, I own end-to-end test automation for Radware DefensePro- designing Robot Framework and Python suites that cover CLI, UI, and SNMP workflows, and running real traffic validation on Spirent TestCenter and Avalanche at line rates up to 100 Gbps. Most of my work sits where testing meets infrastructure: framework architecture, Jenkins pipelines, automated device deployment, and the internal tooling that removes repetitive effort from the team. I've built a configuration generator and an AI-assisted script generation tool, both of which cut authoring time for engineers writing new coverage. I document what I build and mentor newer engineers on Git workflow and framework conventions. Designed and maintained 300+ automated test cases across CLI, UI ( Page Object Model), and SNMP layers Raised nightly regression pass rate from ~30% to ~70% through framework refactoring and failure triage Built internal R&D tooling - AI script generation, configuration generators, automated device deployment Delivered in CI/CD environments using Git, Jenkins, Jira, and Confluence
