Senior Quality Engieer • Automation Architecture & CI/CD Governance • Mobile, API & Distributed Systems • AI-Driven QA
Recruiter View
I design and scale quality systems that help teams ship faster with confidence.
With 12+ years across FinTech/Payments, Travel, Enterprise SaaS, Retail, and Healthcare-adjacent platforms. I’ve led automation initiatives that move teams from manual validation to CI/CD-integrated release governance.
What you get working with me:
- Enterprise-grade automation platforms built from zero
- CI/CD quality gates and PR validation pipelines
- Risk-based coverage informed by production observability
- Release confidence grounded in measurable validation
- Strong cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Product, and DevOps
- Mentorship and elevation of quality standards across teams
Focused on building systems that don’t just pass tests - but hold up in production.
Engineer View
Focus: CI-first automation platforms across mobile and API systems, built for scalability, parallel execution, environment isolation, and production-grade validation.
Core themes:
- Modular framework architecture (Page/Screen Object patterns)
- Tag-driven execution (smoke/regression/e2e)
- Cloud device execution (Sauce Labs) + Dockerized CI pipelines
- Deterministic runs (seeded data, isolated environments, minimal flakiness)
- Hybrid API + UI validation strategies
- Observability-informed coverage (Sentry, Mixpanel, New Relic)
- Stable, API-driven test data management
Goal: Model how quality behaves in production - not just how tests pass locally.
