SDET | QA Automation Engineer | Python, API, CI/CD, Test Framework Design

I build test automation frameworks focused on backend/API validation, reliable test design, and CI integration. My portfolio highlights Python-based automation for storage and embedded/backend communication systems, and browser-driven UI validation using Selenium.

Python-based automation framework for validating S3-compatible storage APIs, end-to-end workflows, and CI-friendly test reporting. Tech highlights:

• Pytest-based automation framework architecture
• Unit, smoke, and regression test separation
• Docker-based local environment
• Jenkins pipeline CI integration
• JUnit and HTML reporting

Python-based UI automation framework built around a FastAPI + MinIO Secure S3 File Portal, validating authentication, role-based access, file workflows, audit logging, and CI-friendly browser test execution. Tech highlights:

• Selenium WebDriver + Pytest Page Object Model framework
• Smoke, regression, negative, edge, and authentication test coverage
• FastAPI + Jinja2 system under test with MinIO-backed file workflows
• Docker-based local environment
• Jenkins staged pipeline CI integration with JUnit reporting and archived artifacts

Python-based automation framework for validating CAN bus message flows, signal behavior, and controller-level communication scenarios. Tech highlights:

• Automated CAN message validation
• Python-based automation framework structure
• Backend / embedded communication testing focus
• Expandable design for additional controller-level and automotive-style scenarios

• Designing automation frameworks from scratch
• API and backend test automation, REST, Websockets, S3-compatible storage, service validation
• Test plan and test strategy for smoke, regression, and unit coverage
• CI/CD integration with Jenkins
• Maintainable Python test architecture

• Python test automation
• API and backend validation
• Test framework design from scratch
• Pytest architecture and reporting
• CI/CD with Jenkins
• Docker-based test environments
• GitHub workflow and project versioning
• Practical AI-assisted development and code review using Codex and Claude

I’m currently expanding this portfolio in two directions:

• Backend and API automation frameworks
• Frontend/UI automation frameworks with Selenium first, then Playwright

I use AI tools such as OpenAI Codex and editor-based assistants to improve development speed, refactoring, troubleshooting, and review quality. I use AI as an engineering assistant, while test strategy, framework design, implementation decisions, validation, and final quality remain my responsibility.
