What I'm looking for

I’m looking for the most challenging QA role where I can lead automation, collaborate in Agile teams, and continuously learn—while contributing to the organization’s growth through strong testing, defect handling, and reliable execution.

I’m a QA Engineer with 13 years of work experience in software testing, and I’m currently working as a Technical Lead in Deutsche Bank (April 2023–till date). I’ve led automation efforts and delivered strong testing coverage across web and mobile applications, with a consistent focus on quality, defect management, and reliable test execution in Agile environments.

Previously, I worked as an Automation Test Lead at HCL Technologies for HSBC (Feb 2022–March 2023) and held QA/Senior QA roles at Wipro Technologies and earlier teams focused on automation and functional testing. I build and maintain automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver with Java/TestNG, Maven, Jenkins for multi-node runs, and Karate (Gherkin), while also working with Postman for API testing and using JIRA for test case creation, defect logging, and traceability.
