SDET with 4 years scaling API and UI automation, ensuring release-ready quality.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an SDET with 4 years of experience scaling automated testing across backend, API, UI, and infrastructure workflows. At Nutanix, I scaled a Python-based API automation framework and a Playwright-based UI automation suite, growing coverage to 100+ automated test cases and cutting regression cycle time by 40%.
I design and execute comprehensive test plans with strong edge-case coverage across API, UI, and terminal-based workflows. I’ve identified 50+ critical defects before production, performed log analysis and root-cause debugging for automation failures, and helped validate security/compliance requirements, including SELinux and STIG standards.
Previously at Informatica, I maintained and extended a scalable automation framework using Selenium, TestNG, and REST Assured for UI, API, and integration testing. I performed ETL and data validation testing across 100+ datasets, reduced data-integrity defects by 30%, and improved coverage by 30% using data-driven and parameterized testing—while partnering with developers, business analysts, and QA teams through Scrum to support on-time delivery.
