Himanshu Khandelwal
@himanshukhandelwal
Test Automation Engineer specializing in Python, Playwright/Selenium, building OTT and e-commerce automation frameworks that cut testing cycles.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Test Automation Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and maintaining Python-based automation frameworks for OTT streaming, video advertising, and global e-commerce platforms. I specialize in Playwright and Selenium, with deep expertise in cross-browser testing, visual regression, and CI/CD integration—so teams can ship with confidence and less manual effort.
In my current role as an Automation Engineer at Source Digital (Remote), I develop and maintain Python + Selenium scripts to automate content playback validation across major OTT platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, and NowTV. I also built a Python + Playwright pipeline that extracts and syncs OTT content metadata into PostgreSQL, powering downstream validation and reporting, while I monitor execution health daily through PostgreSQL queries and Otter dashboards on remote Windows servers accessed via SSH.
I’ve consistently proven results by building frameworks from scratch—cutting testing cycles by 50% and reducing manual effort by up to 70%. Previously at SoftRaw IT Solutions Pvt Ltd, I architected Cypress and Playwright automation frameworks, integrated LambdaTest and Argos-CI for automated cross-browser visual regression, and used Cucumber with Page Object Model to improve maintainability. I’m currently expanding into AI/ML-driven test tooling (LLM-based test generation and AI-powered test tooling) to make testing smarter, faster, and more resilient.
