I build AI-assisted test automation frameworks that accelerate regression testing and improve QA delivery.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At MassMutual, I own end-to-end QA delivery for New Business and Underwriting insurance applications, from test strategy and planning through regression testing and production sign-off.
I build automation with Selenium-Java, Cucumber, Playwright, UiPath, REST Assured, and GitHub Actions. I also created three Claude Code plugins that generate test cases, create Selenium/Playwright scripts, and log linked Jira defects; the test-case generator reduced manual entry effort by an estimated 70%.
Previously, at Mphasis and Capgemini, I automated regression coverage for Charles Schwab and Royal Bank of Canada projects, collaborated across Agile teams, and served as a QA point of contact for trading scenarios and automation planning.
