What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior QA automation roles where I can build scalable frameworks, integrate CI/CD, mentor teams, and drive quality in Agile environments.

I am a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience designing and implementing automation frameworks for web and API testing. I build and maintain data-driven, BDD, and MVC frameworks using Java, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Cucumber, Maven, and Jenkins to improve test coverage and release reliability.

I have deep experience in REST and SOAP web service testing with REST Assured, Postman, and SOAP UI, and I perform backend validation using SQL across Oracle and SQL Server. I have led test strategy, created test plans and cases, integrated automation suites with CI/CD pipelines, and mentored junior engineers to raise team capability.

I am a collaborative problem-solver who contributes to release readiness, defect analysis, and continuous improvement of QA processes. I bring strong experience with tools such as JIRA, ALM/Quality Center, Git/SVN, and a broad understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies.
