## What I'm looking for

```text
Targeting SDET, Senior QA Engineer or Test Automation Engineer roles at product companies. Experienced in building test frameworks from scratch (Playwright/C#, Selenium/Java), SQL data validation, and CI/CD pipeline health. Seeking high-impact opportunities that are fully remote or based in Mumbai, with strong engineering ownership and competitive compensation.
```

## About

```text
I am a SDET Automation Engineer with nearly 7 years of experience building maintainable, scalable automation solutions for fast-moving product teams. My core focus is eliminating testing bottlenecks and ensuring that software releases are stable, reliable, and verified from UI down to the database layer.

Core Areas of Expertise:

- Automation Framework Architecture: Extensive experience designing and developing test automation suites from scratch using Playwright with C#, backed by a solid foundational background in Selenium with Java. I prioritize clean design patterns, modularity, and high test execution speed.

- Data & Backend Testing: Strong hands-on focus on backend verification, writing targeted SQL queries to validate complex business logic, database states, and transactional data integrity. I also perform practical API validation using Postman to verify service endpoints.

- CI/CD Monitoring & Pipeline Health: Active owner of test run health within CI/CD pipelines. I monitor automated regression and smoke runs, quickly isolate root causes when builds fail, and rewrite or fix broken scripts to keep delivery pipelines green.

- Engineering Quality & Adaptability: Tech-agnostic problem solver who adapts quickly to new programming languages, tools, and environments (including Linux and containerized workflows). Passionate about continuous improvement, mentoring peers on quality best practices, and leveraging modern testing methodologies—including GenAI tools—to increase test efficiency.

I thrive in ownership-driven, asynchronous remote cultures where engineers collaborate closely across development, product, and QA to build high-impact products.
