My Photo

Senior Automation Engineer

I am a Senior Automation Engineer with 25+ years of experience designing and implementing robust automated testing frameworks and solutions. My work ensures software quality, reliability, and efficiency across web, mobile, and desktop applications.

I specialize in developing automation strategies that streamline repetitive tasks, optimize workflows, and improve productivity. I have extensive experience with tools like Selenium, Robot Framework, Python scripting, CI/CD pipelines, and test-driven development practices.

Beyond testing, I focus on building maintainable and scalable automation solutions that integrate seamlessly with development and operations teams. I believe that effective automation not only increases quality but also enables teams to innovate faster.

When I'm not building automation frameworks, I enjoy exploring emerging technologies, contributing to open-source automation projects, and mentoring junior engineers to foster the next generation of automation talent.

I am passionate about working with forward-thinking teams to deliver software solutions that are efficient, reliable, and impactful.
