QA automation engineer building Selenium/Playwright and API test suites for fast release validation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Automation Engineer with hands-on experience in Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, Playwright, TypeScript, and API testing. I focus on building dependable automated coverage that supports faster, more consistent release validation in Agile teams.
At Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), I developed and enhanced Selenium WebDriver automation scripts using Java and TestNG, leveraging XPath and CSS selectors to reduce repetitive manual validation during regression. I also automated key user workflows with Playwright and TypeScript, and refactored codegen-generated tests to improve stability in Docker/Podman-based Jenkins pipelines.
I validate REST APIs using Swagger by reviewing endpoints, request/response payloads, HTTP status codes, headers, and expected business data. I designed and executed smoke, sanity, regression, and end-to-end test cases for critical business workflows across Agile sprint releases.
I support Jenkins-based CI/CD execution for automated regression and release validation, and I manage defects end-to-end in Jira—logging, tracking, retesting, and closing while collaborating with developers to improve readiness. Earlier, as an Application Developer Intern and Web Developer Intern, I delivered UI template customization, cross-browser/responsive testing, feature updates, and QA handoff support.
