@hiteshdevaliya
Senior QA manual & automation engineer specializing in Selenium/Java BDD, API testing, and SAP integrations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an end-to-end QA specialist with 9 years across enterprise software testing and manufacturing quality assurance. At Tata Consultancy Services, I built a Selenium/Java/Cucumber BDD automation framework that reduced regression execution time by 40%, expanded Selenium WebDriver coverage by 30%, and helped drive faster, higher-quality sprint releases. I also functionally led and mentored a team of 5 testers—owning onboarding, KT documentation, and standardized testing processes—while delivering comprehensive API test suites using Postman and validating end-to-end data flow across SAP MM and downstream microservices.
Before that, I worked as a Supplier Quality Assurance Engineer at Godrej & Boyce, where I applied the same discipline to defect prevention and lifecycle accountability—reducing supplier rejection PPM by 30% YoY through process audits, root cause analysis (8D/CAPA), and corrective action validation. I automated reporting with Excel macros (cutting cycle time by 50%), built Power BI dashboards for supplier quality KPIs, and helped co-develop a Supplier Management System to define acceptance criteria and validation processes. I bring a structured, agile-driven mindset—using Lean Six Sigma and strong test planning—to improve release readiness and production quality outcomes.
