I’m a hands-on Senior SDET and Automation Architect who genuinely loves building things that make engineering teams faster, better, and happier.

A few things I’m known for:
-I love coding, debugging, optimizing, and figuring things out.
-Building scalable automation—for consumer apps with massive traffic.
-Strong collaboration—I work closely with developers, product, and DevOps.
-Mentorship—I enjoy helping engineers grow their automation skills.

Outside of work, I’m curious about AI for QA, mobile automation trends, and anything that helps reduce manual effort without reducing quality. I’m also an entrepreneur at heart, a lifelong learner, and someone who genuinely enjoys building things from the ground up.
