IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience in Banking, Payments, and Cards, specializing in Functional, Regression, E2E, and UAT testing. I lead quality end-to-end across APIs and microservices, with deep expertise in API testing, SQL validation, and defect lifecycle management.
In my recent role as a Quality Analyst at Barclays (2023–Present), I executed functional, regression, and UAT testing to enable early defect detection and high-quality releases. I validated APIs using Postman (request/response, status codes, and data accuracy) and performed SQL-based data validation to ensure backend integrity, while scripting tests with Playwright (TypeScript) using locators and assertions.
Previously, as a Test Lead at Sopra Banking Software (2021–2023), I led QA delivery across multiple banking modules and managed a cross-functional QA team—designing test strategies and improving testing efficiency by ~30%. I’ve also worked as a Senior Test Engineer (Sopra Steria) with onsite experience in the UK at Nottingham Building Society, preparing test strategies/cases and mentoring juniors, and I’ve applied AI tools like ChatGPT to support test case generation and risk-based testing.
