QA Automation Engineer building scalable web, mobile, and API automation frameworks that cut execution time and flakiness.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 3 years of experience building enterprise-grade automation frameworks for Web, Mobile (Android/iOS/iPad), and API applications across EdTech, Childcare, and Medical Education domains. I focus on scalable architecture and reliability—cutting test execution time by 40% and automation flakiness by 30% through framework optimization, reusable utilities, and parallel execution.
At UWorld, I’m designing a hybrid mobile automation framework from scratch using Appium 2, WebdriverIO, and TypeScript, with a domain-driven test architecture. I built an execution framework for selective row execution and configurable filtering, and I implemented retry-aware execution with row-level reruns, failure tracking, and optimized recovery reporting—plus centralized validation handling and locator abstraction for Android/iOS extensibility.
Previously at Coforge (and Cigniti Technologies), I delivered 50+ automation scripts per sprint and built reusable cross-platform components using Selenium, Appium, Cypress, and Rest Assured. I integrated CI/CD delivery with GitHub Actions and Jenkins, validated UI/API/DB workflows end-to-end, and developed feasibility POCs for systems like Salesforce and D365. I was also recognized as Best Automation Engineer – Cigniti (2023) and Top Contributor – Bright Horizons (2023).
