Kusum Pandit
@kusumpandit
Detail-oriented QA Engineer with 3+ years in manual and automated web/mobile testing.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented QA Engineer with over three years of hands-on experience testing online and mobile applications, both manually and with automation. I focus on discovering issues early, improving test coverage, and delivering dependable software in agile teams.
At Ambition Guru I led testing for critical modules, developed and maintained automated test scripts using Appium, Playwright, and Cypress, and executed data validation with SQL to fix data integrity problems. I reduced manual effort through automation and improved quality metrics across releases.
I have experience supervising junior QA engineers and interns, performing root cause analysis for recurring performance issues, and collaborating with stakeholders to align features with business objectives. I have also tested payment gateways, real-time socket communication, and local-to-remote database synchronization for offline-first mobile functionality.
My technical toolkit includes Postman, Swagger, JMeter, Datagrip, Figma, Flutter DevTools, Burp Suite, MySQL, and MongoDB. I bring analytical thinking, leadership, and a continuous-improvement mindset to ensure features meet functionality, UI/UX, and security standards.
