Message

At Illumify, I led the QA team and coordinated release activities across sprints. I also contributed to Playwright and TypeScript automation and helped drive the team’s use of AI tools.

At Techversant Infotech, I developed Playwright and TypeScript automation frameworks and orchestrated end-to-end QA initiatives, including regression planning and production sign-offs. Integrating test cases with Allure TestOps and Jira enabled full traceability and 25% faster defect resolution.

As a freelance QA consultant, I tested web and mobile applications on crowd-sourced platforms and identified high-severity bugs. I also developed my automation skills with TypeScript and Playwright through independent research and automation labs.

Earlier, at Mobility Eye FZC, I automated regression suites using Selenium, Maven, and TestNG, reducing manual testing effort by 40%. I hold the ISTQB Foundation Level certification and have worked across manual and automation testing for web, mobile, and enterprise applications.
