About

Hey there 👋 I’m an SDET 👩🏻‍💻 who loves breaking and building things — mostly so they work better in production! Over the past 7 years, I’ve been automating everything from real-time gameplay to backend services for large-scale gaming apps. 🎮 I focus on enhancing product quality and helping teams deliver smooth, reliable player experiences. My work spans both frontend and backend automation — from scripting multiplayer gameplay and optimizing CI/CD pipelines to building frameworks that make testing smarter, faster, and more effective. 🤖 I’m also curious about how AI can be leveraged to improve automation — from intelligent test generation to smarter debugging and faster delivery cycles.

Software Development Engineer in Test - 2 (Backend)

Oct 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 5 mos

As part of the Backend QA team, I lead automation initiatives to enhance test coverage, service reliability, and release confidence. I’ve improved coverage by 30% using JaCoCo, optimized regression testing through backend API validations, and driven service stability during stateful-to-stateless migrations. By building mock APIs, developer sanity scripts, and AI-assisted frameworks with tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT, I’ve accelerated test development and increased early bug detection.
