AutomationRegression Testing
I'm a Senior QA Test Engineer with 11+ years of hands-on experience helping product teams ship reliable, scalable software across web, mobile, and desktop platforms — from enterprise collaboration tools to modern API-driven systems.
Early in my career, I led QA on VNCtalk and VNCmail, enterprise collaboration platforms built on XMPP, Zimbra, and Jitsi, where I designed 1,200+ test cases, tracked 300+ defects across 300+ release cycles, and cut regression testing time from 5 days to 2 days — a 60% reduction that directly sped up release velocity. I also mentored 4–5 junior QA engineers, building out the team's testing maturity alongside my own.
Since then, I've worked as an independent QA/automation consultant for distributed product teams, and more recently built out a full API automation portfolio in Postman covering CRUD workflows, dynamic request chaining, and environment-based testing architecture.
Core Expertise:
Manual & Automation Testing — Functional, Regression, Smoke, Exploratory, Cross-Browser
Test Automation Frameworks — Selenium WebDriver, Robot Framework, Playwright
API Testing — Postman, Newman
Mobile Testing — Android/iOS, ADB/Logcat
CI/CD Integration — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI
Defect & Test Management — Redmine, structured test documentation
Agile/Scrum collaboration with distributed, global teams
QA Mentorship & Team Leadership
I'm currently deepening my Playwright and API automation skillset to stay aligned with modern SDET demands.
Let's Connect: Open to Senior QA, QA Lead, and SDET roles where testing rigor and automation directly move the release-velocity needle. Tech stack: Selenium | Robot Framework | Playwright | Postman/Newman | Jenkins | GitHub Actions | Java
