What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a QA/Automation role in an Agile team where I can lead automation initiatives, mentor juniors, improve CI/CD pipelines, and deliver measurable quality gains across web, mobile, and APIs.

I am a results-oriented QA Engineer with 4.6+ years of experience in manual and automation testing across web, mobile (Android & iOS), and APIs. I focus on delivering high-quality software through disciplined testing and collaboration with product and development teams.

I design and build automation frameworks using Cypress (BDD with Cucumber), JavaScript, Appium, and WebdriverIO, and integrate CI/CD with Jenkins and GitHub. I have hands-on experience with API testing using Postman and Rest Assured, and cloud pipeline setups on GCP.

I have driven measurable impact: reduced regression effort by 65% (saving 12L+/year), achieved 90% mobile test coverage, enabled near-zero defect releases, and improved test coverage and sprint velocity in prior roles. I have experience in BFSI, CRM, and eCommerce domains.

I mentor juniors, maintain RCA and SOP documentation, and advocate risk-based testing and automation-first approaches. I seek to continue improving automation, reliability, and release quality while supporting team growth and efficient delivery.
