I am a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with close to 3 years of experience building scalable automation systems for cloud-based applications and release pipelines. My work primarily focuses on designing and implementing end-to-end automation frameworks using Python, along with API validation and CI/CD-driven testing.

At Happiest Minds Technologies, I built an enterprise-grade BDD automation framework using Python and Behave that supported validation across 10+ cloud applications. I integrated this framework into GitLab CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous validation during deployments and contributing to over 40 production releases with zero critical defects. I also developed reusable utilities for API testing, pipeline orchestration, and release verification, significantly reducing manual effort and improving deployment efficiency.

I have strong hands-on experience in REST API testing, backend validation, and building maintainable automation frameworks. I have also worked on UI automation using Playwright and implemented scalable test design patterns like Page Object Model. My work often involves debugging failures, analyzing logs, and ensuring system reliability across distributed environments.

In addition, I am AWS Certified (Solutions Architect – Associate) and have built an event-driven CI/CD pipeline project using services like EventBridge, Step Functions, Lambda, and Terraform. This project reflects my interest in combining automation with cloud-native architectures and building reliable, production-grade systems.

I am particularly interested in roles where I can contribute to building robust automation frameworks, improving release quality, and working closely with engineering teams to ensure reliable software delivery. I enjoy solving system-level problems, optimizing pipelines, and continuously improving automation strategies.
