Senior Quality Engineer & SDET specializing in automation, API testing, and quality leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Quality Engineer with 6.5+ years of experience delivering manual and automation testing for large-scale web applications and microservices. I lead end-to-end quality ownership across Agile SDLC, balancing test strategy, exploratory testing, and release readiness with measurable outcomes.
At Infinity Learn, I drove a 60% reduction in regression cycle time by optimizing CI/CD pipelines and applying intelligent test suite prioritisation across 5 product PODs and 3 in-house services. I improved automation stability by 40% by identifying and eliminating flaky tests through root cause analysis and framework refactoring.
I scale quality through layered API testing—Contract Validation, Schema Validation, Security & Authorization, Performance, and Business E2E flows—so integration across microservices is covered deeply. I also led JMeter performance testing (Load, Soak, Spike), established baselines, and validated SLO/SLA alignment with product SLAs using observability signals.
I’ve owned production deployment quality via GoCD, maintained zero critical production escapes for 2+ years, and supported go/no-go decisions with risk-based release insights and defect leakage tracking. I also led and mentored a team of 6 QA engineers, earning a WOW Award (2024) for sustained quality engineering excellence.
