Engineer with 7+ years in software quality and 2+ years owning platform performance
end to end. At a cloud SaaS company I run load, stress, spike, endurance and scalability testing with
JMeter against APIs and full user journeys, hunt down bottlenecks and memory leaks under production-scale
traffic, set performance baselines, and build monitoring to catch regressions across releases. Strong automation
background — built test frameworks from the ground up at two SaaS companies and mentored 11+
engineers through the move to automation. Comfortable owning and evolving tooling rather than just
running tests, and actively expanding across the open-source performance and observability ecosystem.
