Looking for a Senior SDET, QA Lead, or Technical Lead role where I can drive automation strategy, mentor teams, build scalable Playwright-based automation frameworks, leverage AI-assisted testing, and improve software quality in a collaborative engineering environment.

@abanimaharana
I build AI-assisted test automation and quality strategies for healthcare and SaaS platforms.
What I'm looking for
At Fountane, I build quality engineering for Cascaid, a HIPAA-sensitive healthcare reporting platform that has delivered 10M+ interactive health reports to SimonMed patients. I reduced automation execution from approximately 12 hours to 2 hours through test-data isolation and 5-way parallel execution, and identified 30+ AI chatbot issues through hallucination, guardrail, context, and data-leakage testing.
I've built automation frameworks across healthcare, OTA, fraud detection, and AI SaaS products using Playwright, WebdriverIO, TypeScript, Python, and Java. My work spans API and data validation, multi-tenant security, performance testing from 5K to 100K workloads, CI/CD strategy, and AI-assisted automation with Playwright Agents and MCP.
