Built end-to-end UI and API automation suites for Fanatics commerce flows using Playwright, validating product discovery, cart, checkout, orders, and post-purchase journeys. Developed a scalable Playwright API automation framework and used Claude AI/GitHub Copilot to reduce new-spec development time by ~40%, improving suite stability and regression cycle performance via CI parallel sharding.

Led automation for Upshop Fresh Operations and Meat Traceability modules, covering demand forecasting, in-store production workflows, inventory, and food-safety validation. Owned regression, smoke, and UAT compliance activities while collaborating with the delivery team on test execution readiness.

Designed and maintained end-to-end Cypress and Playwright API+UI automation for MasterMind logistics management across customers, carriers, loads, and resources. Automated GraphQL (Apollo) and REST API validations with MS SQL data integrity checks, implementing POM, data-driven, and Cucumber (BDD) frameworks to reduce regression run time through parallel execution.

Executed functional, regression, and integration testing for web applications and authored 4+ test scenarios and RTM documents. Improved spec authoring speed by 40% and partnered with developers to drive Jira-tracked defects to closure.

Performed manual functional and non-functional testing for web applications across e-commerce/retail and healthcare (US) domains. Participated in requirement reviews and KT sessions to support test planning and delivery for logistics and supply-chain scenarios.

Completed a Cypress Automation Analyst program from Nov 2022 to May 2025.

Earned a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). Authored and executed regression, smoke, and functional test suites during the program.
