I lead QA automation that improves release quality and accelerates delivery.
What I'm looking for
At Aakash Educational Services, I lead end-to-end QA across web product releases, improving release quality and reducing post-release defects by approximately 25%.
I built a Playwright and JavaScript automation framework that reduced manual regression time by approximately 30% and shortened release cycles from five days to three. I also integrated automated execution into CI/CD pipelines, monitored production performance with New Relic, and established defect tracking that reduced average bug resolution time by approximately 40%.
Previously at NIRA, I expanded coverage for web and mobile critical flows by approximately 35%, automated testing with Selenium and Java, and reduced data-integrity defects through Postman and DynamoDB validation. I managed a four-person QA team and partnered with developers and product managers to prioritize fixes.
Across Seynse Technology, Reliance Communication, Nokia India, and QubeSys Technologies, I've delivered functional, regression, API, performance, database, and mobile testing. I'm a Certified Scrum Master and ISTQB CTFL-certified, focused on practical automation, reliable releases, and stronger quality standards.
