I build reliable automated and manual testing for SaaS and IVR products.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to product teams where I can build scalable test automation, strengthen CI/CD quality gates, validate complex user journeys and data, and help deliver reliable customer-facing software.

I've tested products for Microsoft, Nuance India, and PingLane, covering IVR workflows, business intelligence dashboards, and e-commerce customer engagement software. I build and maintain Playwright automation, perform API testing with Postman, and validate data through SQL.

At PingLane, I created an end-to-end Playwright framework from scratch, reduced regression suite runtime by over 40% through parallel and headless execution, and integrated automated regression testing into GitHub Actions for every pull request. I also bring hands-on experience across functional, regression, integration, system, UAT, cross-platform, database, and manual testing.
