Hello, I'm

SDET 2

I build dependable UI and API automation frameworks that give teams fast, trustworthy release signals.

About

I'm a Software Development Engineer in Test who cares about the architecture of test code as much as the architecture of the product it protects. My focus is designing automation frameworks — across web UIs, REST APIs, and backend services — that stay maintainable as suites grow from dozens of tests to thousands.

Flaky tests erode trust faster than missing tests, so I put my energy into deterministic waits, isolated test data, and CI pipelines that fail loudly for real defects and never for infrastructure noise.

Work

UI Test Automation Framework

A Selenium WebDriver framework covering the Saucedemo e-commerce flows — login, product catalog, cart, and checkout — built on the Page Object Model with parallel execution, cross-browser support, and Allure reporting with failure screenshots.

API Test Automation Framework

A REST Assured framework validating the FakeStore API — products, users, and carts — with a reusable spec factory, an endpoint layer, POJO deserialization, fluent AssertJ assertions, and parallel TestNG execution.

Approach

Strategy before scripts

Automation starts with deciding what deserves a test and at which layer. I push checks as low in the pyramid as they can go and reserve end-to-end tests for journeys that truly need a browser.

Signals, not noise

A red build should mean something is broken. I design for stability first — explicit waits, independent tests, clean data — so CI results are trusted enough to gate releases.

Quality is a team sport

I work alongside developers and product owners to build testability into features early, review test code with the same rigor as production code, and share ownership of quality.
