IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a QA Lead with three years of progressive experience building and scaling manual and automated QA pipelines for financial data compliance products. I specialize in Playwright and Cypress automation, CI/CD integration, and applying AI to improve test reliability and defect prediction.
At SteelEye I led a team of four, defined accountability matrices, migrated test management from TestRail to Qase, and integrated automation into GitHub Actions to stabilize pipelines and reduce regression effort. I drove API automation for high-volume download and ingestion workflows and reduced manual regression cycle time by 40%.
I mentor engineers on best practices, run RCA sessions to close coverage gaps, and present QA initiatives to leadership. I focus on scalable test strategy, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement to deliver high-quality, reliable releases.
