Senior QA Engineer at Fidelity Investments who cut regression time 45% and achieved zero critical production escapes.

India

Message

At Fidelity Investments, I drove automation delivery for three functional test teams and expanded coverage through sprint-aligned ATDD. That work cut regression execution time by 45% and reduced defect leakage by 40% year-on-year, with zero critical production escapes over three years.

On TradeHub, I established quality gates and STLC discipline during CLS feature delivery. I validated SOAP and REST APIs and verified backend data with SQL, helping prevent settlement discrepancies and data integrity failures from reaching production.

At Innovit Australia, I owned functional and regression testing for a SaaS compliance platform. I clarified acceptance criteria during sprint refinement and used exploratory testing to surface high-risk defects before sign-off.

I also built FinCore Bank, a live banking QA practice lab, with 171 Playwright tests and a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline. My work spans test planning, API and backend validation, automation, and release readiness.
