What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on QA/automation role where I can lead automation efforts, improve CI/CD test coverage, mentor engineers, and work in an agile, collaborative environment.

I am a Lead Engineer with three years of professional experience focused on automation and functional testing. I bring two years of Selenium Java automation expertise and over a year in functional and API testing using Postman.

I have designed and worked with TestNG, Hybrid and BDD Cucumber frameworks, applying Page Object and Page Factory patterns, and implemented automation using Selenium WebDriver in Eclipse. I manage code in GitHub, use Maven for builds, and participate in CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins.

My hands-on testing includes cross-browser and parallel execution, smoke, sanity, regression, integration and system testing, plus backend verification using Oracle SQL. I have used test management and defect-tracking tools such as JIRA and HP ALM and maintained RTMs, test plans, and execution dashboards.

I have served as Lead Engineer on projects for large enterprise clients, producing feature files in Gherkin, automating acceptance criteria, debugging and enhancing scripts, and delivering regular status and defect reports. I hold an M.Tech and an AZ-400 certification in Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions.
