Specialization: QA Automation Engineer
— I am an accomplished QA Automation Engineer with over six years of solid experience spanning both manual and automated testing. Having spent more than nine years living and working in the United Kingdom, I bring not only strong technical expertise but also excellent communication and collaboration skills, and I am now seeking a fully remote opportunity where I can continue delivering value to projects worldwide. — Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and implemented automation frameworks from the ground up, primarily using Playwright and Selenium in conjunction with Cucumber for Behaviour‑Driven Development (BDD). These solutions have been scalable, maintainable, and effective in enhancing automation efficiency while fostering collaboration between technical and non‑technical stakeholders. — I am proficient in Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C#, and have delivered both API and UI automation projects that ensure robust test coverage and high‑quality releases. — I take a strategic approach to refining testing processes, work seamlessly within cross‑functional Agile teams, and always prioritise adding tangible value to the product and business. — Performance and load testing form an integral part of my toolkit, with hands‑on experience in JMeter, Gatling, and LoadNinja to ensure systems perform optimally in production. — I am also adept in using Jira and Azure DevOps for workflow management, and my broader technical expertise includes Rest Assured, Postman, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Burp Suite, Lens, Grafana, Splunk, and pgAdmin for environment validation, monitoring, and ensuring security and reliability. — I look forward to contributing my skills, professionalism, and dedication to a forward‑thinking organisation that values quality, efficiency, and innovation in software delivery.
