He started his career in manual testing before moving into automation, building a strong foundation in exploratory testing, test design, and defect investigation.

His technical expertise includes Playwright, Cypress, JavaScript, TypeScript, and API testing with Postman. He builds and maintains automated regression suites, integrates tests into CI/CD pipelines, and works closely with developers to investigate failures. He pays particular attention to test reliability, useful coverage, and keeping automation manageable as products grow.
