About

Developer Experience Engineer at Ecosia, focused on CI/CD, internal tooling, and engineering enablement for teams building web and mobile products serving millions of users.

Previously owned acceptance-test automation and quality engineering across Android, iOS, web, Windows, and macOS platforms. Now, as part of Ecosia’s DevEx team, I help define robust workflows, accelerate build and test cycles, and drive developer productivity through automation, testing standards, and shared knowledge.

My experience spans test automation strategy, system integration, regression and API testing, and end-to-end validation. I work closely with engineers, managers, and designers to ensure that features are reliable, testable, and fast to ship — from prototype to production.

I actively explore AI-assisted engineering, using tools like GitHub Copilot, OpenAI models, and productivity accelerators to boost code quality and unlock new workflows.
