I’m a QA Automation Engineer with nearly 4 years of experience specializing in Playwright, JavaScript, and AI-driven test solutions. I’ve proven impact as the 2025 Global AutoThon winner, leading an AI-powered automation approach that outperformed 50 teams worldwide.

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer at Nagarro (May 2022–Present), I build and maintain Playwright-based automation frameworks that improved test coverage by 60% while significantly reducing regression cycle times. I also integrate Generative AI into the QA workflow—using LLMs for intelligent test case generation, test data synthesis, and defect root-cause analysis.

I implement Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers so AI agents can dynamically retrieve application context, test history, and environment state—enabling adaptive, context-aware automation. I’ve introduced AI-driven test case selection to reduce redundant executions and improve release confidence, while delivering end-to-end manual testing (UAT, regression, smoke, sanity) across multiple sprints.

I take ownership of continuous improvement: I lead process optimization initiatives that raise defect detection rates and reduce re-work in QA pipelines, and I mentor junior engineers to establish strong QA best practices. Alongside hands-on delivery, I’m pursuing the Executive Programme in Global Business Management (EPGBM) at IIM Calcutta, strengthening my focus on strategy and digital transformation to scale testing programs with business outcomes in mind.
