Own automation strategy for the dPO Technologies platform, adopting Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium to cut regression cycle time by 30%. Built security-focused test coverage (authentication, authorization, data protection, API vulnerability testing) and aligned scenarios to ISO 27001 control objectives.

Built and scaled automated test plans across multiple client projects, increasing automation coverage by 200% and raising the automation ratio from 15% to 45%, reducing manual regression effort by 50%. Incorporated baseline security checks into regression suites and stabilized CI/CD smoke and regression suites by reducing flaky test failures.

Designed an automation framework for a portfolio of web applications, reducing overall testing time by 40%. Automated smoke testing for the Peak15 project and integrated it into CI/CD pipelines, cutting the release cycle time by 60%, and established repeatable security and data-handling test checkpoints.

Designed and executed Selenium-based automated test plans across client engagements and advised clients on QA strategy, aligning security and compliance considerations to business requirements. Built foundational automation and manual testing practices carried forward into later AlphaBOLD QA initiatives.

Increased automation test coverage from 55% to 68% for the NetSol Financial Suite and reduced defect density by 20% through improved automation and validation. Delivered the NetSol Financial Suite to Mercedes China, contributing to a 30% increase in client-reported customer satisfaction, and built SQL-based data validation checks for data integrity and calculation accuracy.

Executed software testing lifecycles and managed end-to-end bug lifecycles using Jira. Produced structured Jira reporting to provide visibility into defect trends for the project team.
