QA Integration Engineer
Queens, NY
Summary
I’m a QA Automation Engineer and Test Lead with more than ten years of experience in automation, functional testing, big data testing, RPA, and accessibility testing across financial and enterprise systems. I work with Selenium, Appium, Python, Java, Spark, Hadoop, UiPath, and AWS, and I’ve built automation frameworks that cut manual effort by as much as 40%.
I have experience working with Agile and SAFe teams, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-based testing. I’ve led efforts that delivered zero-defect releases and improved test efficiency through the use of RPA, AI-assisted testing with Copilot, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance.
