I engineer automation systems, not scripts.
My frameworks are built for:
- High signal, low noise
- CI/CD stability
- Zero-flake execution
- Fast iteration
- Clean abstractions
- Test strategy clarity
Every repository in this portfolio reflects real engineering standards, not classroom demos.

- UI Automation Mastery → 3 modern frameworks (WDIO, Playwright, Cypress)
- API Testing Expertise → Schema validation, contract testing, CI/CD
- Non-Functional Testing → Performance + Security (rare SDET skill)
- Framework Design → POM, utilities, clean abstractions
- CI/CD Engineering → GitHub Actions, reporting, automation pipelines
- Production Standards → ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, comprehensive docs
Automation is an engineering discipline.
I operate by these principles:
- Stability > Speed
- Clarity > Cleverness
- Architecture > Accumulation
- Truth in CI > Beauty in IDE
- Real Coverage > Illusion of Tests
Automation isn't written to simulate production —
it's written to improve decisions and reduce risk.
