What I'm looking for

I’m seeking QA Automation Engineer / SDET roles in MNC organizations where I can build scalable frameworks, strengthen CI/CD quality gates, and deliver reliable automation across UI, API, and performance testing with measurable impact.

I’m a results-driven QA Automation Engineer and SDET with hands-on experience in end-to-end test automation, CI/CD integration, API testing, and performance testing. I’ve built scalable automation using Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, and strong framework patterns like POM and data-driven approaches with BDD (Cucumber/Gherkin). In my recent work, I authored test suites that achieved 85% code coverage and reduced production bugs by 70% across MERN applications serving 10,000+ users.

I also focus on reliability and measurable delivery improvements: I integrated automated pipelines with GitHub Actions and Jenkins, cutting deployment time by 87% (2 hours to 15 minutes), and validated API workflows with JWT/OAuth 2.0 for high-volume request loads. I’ve supported stable releases (99.8% uptime) and reduced response time by 35% through load testing with Apache JMeter, while delivering maintainable reporting with Allure/Extent. I’m seeking QA Automation Engineer / SDET roles where I can keep shifting-left and build robust quality gates for fast-moving MNC teams.
