What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build high-impact quality automation for web, mobile, and API products, with opportunities to apply AI-driven testing, CI/CD quality gates, performance validation, and cross-functional QA strategy.

At Nykaa, I lead QA strategy for the Display Network across web, Android, and iOS, covering release coordination, automation, CI/CD quality gates, production API monitoring, and performance testing. I built AI tools using Gemini and OpenAI APIs that turn Jira, Figma, and PRD inputs into structured test cases and Selenium, Rest Assured, and TestNG code.

I've also delivered quality for Sling TV at DMI Innovations, BuildSpec and ServiceLink at Fueled, and Aetna healthcare products at Infosys. I build reusable BDD automation frameworks, validate APIs and backend data, mentor QA engineers, and partner with product and engineering teams to resolve production issues.
