QA Engineer specializing in test automation, API testing, and stable Agile releases.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented QA Engineer with 6+ years of experience in manual and automation testing, focused on improving test coverage, reducing defects, and delivering stable releases in Agile environments.
I build and strengthen automation suites using Playwright, Selenium, Pytest, and BDD (Behave), and I support mobile and web testing with tools like Appium and Cypress. I also run API testing with Postman/Newman and validate request/response data end to end.
In my recent roles, I’ve automated AI-based web applications from scratch, stabilized automation suites to improve success rates, and contributed to major quality outcomes like reducing post-release defects by 25% and boosting test coverage by 40%. I actively participate in requirement analysis, test planning, regression, and smoke testing across releases.
I enjoy cross-functional collaboration with developers and product teams to resolve issues quickly—logging defects in JIRA and driving root-cause fixes. My approach is structured, measurable, and defect-prevention oriented, so teams can ship confidently.
