Message

At Nagarro, I architected Playwright and TypeScript automation frameworks that reached 85% coverage for critical enterprise web application journeys. I also developed reusable libraries and integrated automated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.

I transformed more than 500 manual test cases into automated suites, reducing regression testing time by 50%. I also developed self-healing automation that cut maintenance effort by 35% and improved test stability by 50%.

For REST and GraphQL services, I developed API test frameworks with data-driven and contract validation, improving API reliability by 35%. I also pioneered GenAI-powered test case generation, reducing creation time by 40% while expanding coverage by 25%.

Earlier, I built automation frameworks for e-commerce, manufacturing, enterprise data catalog, and case management systems at CONTORION, GE DIGITAL, INFORMATICA, and INFOSYS. I’ve mentored QA engineers and worked with product and engineering teams to embed testing earlier in the development process.
