## About

```text
At Infovision Labs, I build and maintain web automation suites with Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, and Java, while validating RESTful services through Postman and Rest Assured. I define test strategies, support sprint demos, and deliver functional, regression, smoke, and end-to-end testing across releases.

Previously at Trinetium Tech, I automated RESTful API and enterprise cloud solution testing using Java, Rest Assured, and Cucumber BDD. I created manual and automated tests from technical designs and user stories, helping prevent defect leakage through rigorous regression cycles.

I've led Bug Bash initiatives that uncovered 100+ critical defects before release and improved product quality by 35%. I also architected an automated test data management pipeline that reduced setup time by 70%.
