I didn’t start my career dreaming about test cases and automation frameworks—but once I saw how a single bug could break a user’s trust, I was hooked. I realized my attention to detail, curiosity, and love for “how things really work under the hood” fit perfectly into Quality Assurance. Today, I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 5+ years of experience testing complex web and backend applications. I design and maintain UI and API automation using Java, Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber/BDD, and SQL, helping teams catch critical issues early and ship features with confidence. I enjoy turning vague requirements into clear test scenarios, stabilizing flaky tests, and building frameworks that are easy for the whole team to use. I work best in collaborative, Agile environments where QA is part of the conversation from day one—not just at the end. I like supporting developers, BAs, and product owners with clear, data-driven feedback so we can make smarter decisions about quality and risk. Going forward, I want to deepen my expertise as an SDET, contribute to more automation-first teams, and eventually mentor others who are starting their journey in QA. If you’re building products where quality really matters, I’d love to connect.
• Designed, maintained, and enhanced a Selenium WebDriver automation framework using Java, TestNG, Maven, and Page Object Model for banking and financial web applications. • Automated end-to-end scenarios for account, transaction, and financial workflows, improving regression coverage and release confidence across Agile delivery cycles. • Built and executed API tests using Postman and Rest-Assured to validate RESTful services, response payloads, HTTP status codes, business rules, and data integrity. • Performed database validation using SQL, MySQL, and JDBC to verify transactional data, backend calculations, and application data consistency across integrated systems. • Integrated automated test suites with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to support continuous regression execution, faster feedback, and improved deployment readiness. • Maintained a Git/GitHub automation repository with reusable utilities, organized branching, and framework refactoring to improve stability and maintainability. • Created test cases, regression suites, defect reports, and RTM updates based on business requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria. • Used Jira to log, track, prioritize, and retest defects while collaborating with developers, product owners, business analysts, and QA team members. • Used GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to assist with test case drafting, automation code refactoring, debugging support, and QA documentation improvement.
● Streamlined defect discovery, prioritization, and closure in JIRA through consistent cross-functional triage sessions, enhancing issue turnaround time and reducing production-level defects. ● Built scalable API automation leveraging Rest-Assured, JSON schema validation, and CI-executed Postman collections, validating functional and contract requirements for 40+ API endpoints. ● Partnered with cross-functional teams including developers, product managers, and business analysts to refine requirements, deliver clear feedback, and drive timely, high-quality software releases. ● Developed advanced Gherkin scenarios using Cucumber BDD, enabling business-readable acceptance criteria and supporting automation for 95% of core features. ● Authored detailed test plans, test scenarios, and execution reports for both Agile and Waterfall projects, improving stakeholder visibility and release readiness.
