Automation QA Engineer with 4+ years automating tests, API validation, and CI/CD quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Automation QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience in Automation and Manual Testing, helping teams reduce defects and improve test coverage. I design, develop, and execute automated test scripts using Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, and TestNG, while also owning strong manual regression, smoke & sanity, and functional/integration validation.
I’m especially effective in API testing—scripting and running collections in Postman, validating REST APIs (including JWT auth, payloads, response codes, and data integrity), and working with Swagger and SOAP UI. I also bring CI/CD integration skills (Jenkins, Maven, Git/GitHub) and SQL validation, using logs and error-code analysis to strengthen backend stability and exception handling.
In my recent roles, I’ve built API automation for live production modules, documented test plans, and collaborated across development, product, and DevOps teams for timely releases. I’ve also automated UI suites with cross-browser/responsive coverage and implemented security checks for authentication/authorization and RBAC—plus I improved release quality by 75% through systematic regression testing.
