From testing features to architecting quality.
I started in software testing and grew through automation engineering, framework design, quality architecture, technical leadership, and software development. My focus today is building engineering systems that make quality faster, measurable, resilient, and easier to scale across teams.
My work spans UI and API automation, CI/CD quality gates, test strategy, cloud and virtualized infrastructure, data protection and recovery validation, security hardening, and emerging AI-assisted quality workflows.

SELECTED WORK
Engineering quality beyond test execution.
01
Agentic AI · Resilient File Download Workflow
Built an intelligent workflow for file downloads under changing network conditions, including incomplete-transfer handling, retries, recovery decisions, and resilient execution. The project explored how agentic decision-making can improve reliability in network-dependent automation.
