Senior SDET and automation lead driving shift-left quality.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior SDET and Automation Lead with 8+ years of experience across frontend UI automation, backend service development, and scalable test architecture. I specialize in Java and Python ecosystems and build end-to-end automation frameworks that accelerate release velocity.
I have led and mentored teams, architected automation repositories, and implemented shift-left strategies using tools like Specmatic, Karate, Selenium, Appium, and Pytest to discover defects earlier and reduce regression cycles substantially.
My work emphasizes CI/CD integration, containerized test environments, observability, and measurable quality gates — driving improvements such as faster deployments, reduced defect leakage, and higher test coverage across web, API, and mobile platforms.
