Senior QA Engineer with 4+ years across manual, automation, and API testing, currently owning end-to-end QA delivery for a healthcare enterprise application at Squash Apps. I design automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Java, POM architecture) that have cut regression time by 25-40%, build API test suites in Postman, and use SQL for backend data validation — with domain experience spanning FinTech and Healthcare. I lead defect triage with engineering and product stakeholders, present release readiness assessments to technical and non-technical audiences, and mentor junior QA engineers. Core strengths: • Test automation framework design (Selenium, Playwright, POM, data-driven, CI/CD-integrated) • API testing & backend SQL validation • Azure DevOps test management & release readiness • Stakeholder communication & cross-functional leadership • Team mentoring
