Summary

I’m a Senior Quality Engineer with 12+ years of experience driving software quality, test automation, and engineering team success. I specialize in developing scalable quality engineering frameworks, designing robust test strategies, and ensuring end-to-end quality across UI, API, and data layers.

My technical toolkit includes automation scripting in Python and Java, scalable CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and Jenkins, and hands-on work in cloud-native environments like AWS and Azure. I'm deeply familiar with Agile practices including SAFe and Kanban, and I’m passionate about aligning QA practices with business goals to deliver reliable, customer-focused software.

Known for fostering a culture of continuous improvement, I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where quality and innovation go hand in hand.
