I am a dedicated Test Automation Engineer and SDET with over a decade of hands-on experience supporting international clients in the automotive, embedded, and consumer electronics sectors. My approach is highly collaborative and detail-oriented, focused on delivering robust, scalable automation frameworks and ensuring continuous product quality.
I thrive in remote, distributed teams and can quickly adapt to new domains or technologies, with proven results across both start-up and enterprise environments. I believe in clear communication and transparent reporting, ensuring all stakeholders are informed throughout the project lifecycle. My security-first mindset means testing processes are aligned with modern best practices, resulting in both reliable and resilient systems.
Clients appreciate my pragmatic problem-solving, my ability to quickly identify root causes, and my dedication to efficient delivery. I am always open to new challenges, whether it’s refining existing automation, integrating new tools, or launching test initiatives from scratch.

Alongside my core expertise in test automation and embedded validation, I offer practical experience in integrating security best practices within software testing workflows. My MSc in Cybersecurity supports my ability to design security-aware test cases, perform vulnerability assessments, and implement automated checks for compliance with industry standards such as GDPR and ISO.
I am skilled in using SIEM, vulnerability scanners, and penetration testing tools to supplement automated QA pipelines, ensuring that both functionality and security are covered. My background includes incident response support and collaboration with development and IT teams to reduce risk and improve the security posture of delivered solutions.
Additional strengths include requirements management, Agile project support, technical documentation, and the ability to translate complex technical issues for diverse stakeholders. I enjoy troubleshooting, process optimisation, and helping teams continuously improve their quality and security practices.
