I have more than 4 Years of experience in Quality Assurance as Test consultant with different test tools like Selenium, Rational Functional Tester, Silk Test. I always work around to find and optimize different test frameworks and created different frameworks for different organisations with in very short time as per application requirements. Now I am in to developing my own tool(A framework that never sucks).
I love sharing knowledge in fact teaching, when I am good in something I really need to share.

Are you a Functional/Manual tester ?
And you really want to scale up your skill set in automation testing?
May be you are even more years of experienced than me but still in Manual testing ?(I don't have ego, do You ?)
May be to start with Automation, you are scared/frightened of coding skills ?
You took a step back after you attended some demo class in some random institute ?
Or may be you even started learning and quit ?

Yes I know how difficult it is to be in manual testing and dreams of many manual testers.

As a Test consultant, I have answers for your mind boggling questions and I can assure you start/improve your career with Automation testing as "Individual Contributor"(Yes, you can do it.). This is not just a description to sell my knowledge, but a person who is making you understand the reality.
I believe in teaching "Why it is?" instead of "What it is?", so that you can put your brains directly in good productivity.
Be wise in choosing/upgrading your skill
