About

Experienced Lead Engineer with ~6 years of proven success in test engineering, automation, and cloud infrastructure optimization. I bring a results-driven mindset, with a track record of building scalable test frameworks, driving quality-first initiatives, and enabling faster, reliable releases across enterprise-grade systems. -> Built and maintained cross-team automation frameworks used by 100+ engineers, streamlining testing and auditing workflows. -> Engineered a WPF Production Parallel testing pipeline that automated PnL validation, boosting test throughput by 20%. -> Reduced regression and smoke execution times by 33% and 40% respectively, accelerating release cycles. -> Designed robust CI/CD pipelines with Kubernetes, improving deployment reliability by 15%. -> Archived 1 PB of stale data from AWS S3, reducing cloud storage costs and improving retrieval times. -> Strengthened code coverage and test reliability, catching 15% more missed cases and reducing defect leakage below 10%. My tech stack spans Python, JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, Cypress, JMeter, Playwright, SQL, AWS (S3, Athena), Jenkins, and Kubernetes. I've also driven multiple initiatives around test data optimization, API performance analysis, and framework standardization across teams. I'm passionate about scaling test engineering to match modern software delivery speeds, mentoring peers, and always finding ways to cut noise, reduce waste, and push quality forward. Let’s connect if you’re interested in test engineering excellence, automation strategy, or building high-impact engineering culture!
