Senior automation tester improving UI/API frameworks with Java, Selenium, Playwright.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Automation Tester with 4+ years of experience designing and implementing scalable UI and API automation frameworks. I build reliable test suites using Selenium, Playwright, and Rest Assured with Java and Python, with a focus on maintainability and faster feedback.
In my recent work at SITA Gurgaon, I increased automation coverage by 70% by implementing scalable framework architecture (POM-based), reusable utilities for logging/reporting, and robust synchronization to reduce flaky tests. I also improved execution time by 50% by enabling parallel runs and integrated automation pipelines using Azure DevOps and Jenkins with Maven and Git, delivering real-time release dashboards with Allure/Extent reports.
I also bring a performance and AI automation edge—running load/stress/endurance testing with JMeter and monitoring with Grafana, and developing AI-powered automation agents using Microsoft Copilot Studio for code conversion, diagnostics, and framework onboarding. I enjoy mentoring QA engineers and raising quality standards in Agile/Scrum environments.
