Senior SDET | 7+ Years | QA Automation, API, Backend & AI-Assisted Testing

Senior SDET and QA Automation Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and owning test strategy across fintech, SaaS and data-heavy platforms. I specialise in automation, backend and API testing, data validation and CI/CD, with strong hands-on experience using Playwright, TypeScript, SQL, Python and Java.

I’ve built automation frameworks from scratch, integrated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines and tested complex financial workflows involving billing, refunds, reconciliation, idempotency and cross-service data consistency. I regularly use PostgreSQL to validate backend data and investigate issues across UI, API and database layers.

My core strengths include:

• Playwright and TypeScript automation
• API, integration and contract testing
• SQL and backend data validation
• CI/CD using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps
• Docker, AWS and environment-based test execution
• Root cause analysis and cross-service debugging
• Performance baseline and regression testing
• AI-assisted testing using Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Codex
• QA strategy, shift-left testing and cross-functional collaboration

I’m strongest in roles where QA is treated as an engineering function, with a focus on automation, backend reliability, data integrity and building test coverage that gives teams real confidence to release.
