What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on SDET/QA role where I can build scalable automation, work in Agile teams, enhance CI/CD pipelines, and drive high-quality releases.

I am a results-oriented SDET/QA Automation Engineer with over 6 years of experience delivering manual and automated testing across Web, API, and Database layers. I build scalable automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber, and RestAssured, integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Maven, and Git, and drive quality in Agile teams across domains like VFX, E-commerce, and production tools.

I have designed POM-based hybrid frameworks, automated regression suites, and developed API validation scripts to ensure data integrity and reliable release validation. I collaborate closely with development teams on defect analysis and RCA, produce test documentation (test plans, RTM, summary reports), and focus on reusable, maintainable automation that improves test coverage and release confidence.
