What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a long-term QA automation role where I can build scalable BDD frameworks, strengthen CI/CD testing, and deliver reliable automation for enterprise applications—while working in an Agile team that values quality and maintainability.

I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 9 years of experience delivering high-quality enterprise applications across Retail, Logistics, and Financial Services. I design scalable automation frameworks using BDD, TestNG, Maven, and Jenkins, and I work confidently in Agile environments with CI/CD and cross-browser testing.

I’ve led QA automation in Salesforce ecosystems, supporting Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Experience Cloud use cases, alongside API and enterprise integration testing. After a focused two-year break (2024–2026) for UPSC Civil Services Examination preparation, I return fully committed to a long-term career building reliable, maintainable test automation that teams can trust.
