What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Technical Lead with 7 years of work experience in software testing, focused on building reliable UI and API automation. I’ve worked across enterprise clients such as Deutsche Bank, HCL (HSBC), and Wipro (US Bank).
Since April 2023, I’ve been working as a Technical Team Lead at Deutsche Bank, where I enhance the team’s automation process and create automation scripts for UI and API using the Karate Framework. Earlier, I worked as an Automation Test Lead at HCL Technologies from Feb 2022 to March 2023.
From July 2017 to Feb 2022 at Wipro Technologies, I served as a Senior QA Engineer, developing automation test scripts using Java and Selenium WebDriver, executing test cases, and supporting regression, smoke, and sanity suites. I also coordinated with development teams on issue resolution and ensured strong defect logging and test result documentation.
I bring deep expertise in Agile testing, SDLC testing concepts, and end-to-end testing—from test case development and traceability matrix to defect reporting and defect lifecycle understanding. My toolset includes Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Maven, JIRA, Postman, Jenkins, and mobile testing support (including Appium), along with Karate/Gherkin for API automation.
