I’m a Lead Engineer in Test (SDET) building Java automation frameworks that accelerate quality in CI/CD.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Lead Engineer in Test with 9.6 years of experience building Java-based automation frameworks and embedding quality gates into CI/CD pipelines. I lead end-to-end quality engineering for enterprise-scale, cloud-based SaaS workflows, scaling Selenium WebDriver + TestNG regression suites and improving release stability across frequent deployment cycles.
At Freshworks, I implemented CI/CD quality gates with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, cutting regression execution time by 50%, while validating complex business rules through API testing and Snowflake-based data validation. Across Chargebee and earlier roles, I owned QA for payment gateway and healthcare domains—building a 3,500+ test-case automation framework, reducing manual effort by 60%, and strengthening performance and security testing—while actively using Claude AI, Cursor, and CodeRabbit to accelerate test design and automation.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Led end-to-end quality engineering for enterprise cloud SaaS ticketing workflows, building and scaling Java regression suites with Selenium WebDriver and TestNG. Implemented CI/CD quality gates in Jenkins and GitHub Actions, reducing regression execution time by 50%, and validated SLA and data integrity via API, performance (JMeter), and Snowflake-based checks.
Owned end-to-end quality engineering for the Payment Gateway module, building a Java automation framework (Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Maven) to deliver 3,500+ test cases. Reduced manual testing effort by 60% through automated regression/smoke suites and ensured payment correctness and reliability using RestAssured API/webhook validation, JMeter performance testing, and SQL-based financial accurac
