Lead Engineer specializing in Selenium/Playwright automation, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-assisted test generation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Engineer - I with 6+ years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining automation frameworks. I focus on scalable UI and API test suites that cut manual effort while improving reliability and coverage.
My core expertise spans Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, and BDD Cucumber, with strong API testing using Rest Assured and tooling like Postman and Swagger. I build automation that covers both positive and negative scenarios and integrates smoothly with CI/CD for continuous testing.
In my recent role at CitiusTech, I architect and maintain frameworks using Java, Gradle, and Rest Assured, while designing GitHub Actions workflows for continuous testing across multiple teams. I’ve also leveraged GitHub Copilot and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations to accelerate test script generation and enforce code quality standards.
I mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and define automation best practices to drive quality at scale. I aim to keep automation fast, maintainable, and measurable—using tools like Dynatrace monitoring and reporting dashboards on GitHub Pages to give teams real-time visibility.
