Senior SDET and team lead building scalable QA automation frameworks with AI-driven root-cause analysis.
What I'm looking for
I’m a result-oriented Senior SDET & Team Lead with 6 years of experience architecting scalable automation frameworks and leading high-performing QA teams. I focus on building end-to-end testing solutions that are both reliable and fast, with measurable impact on regression and release quality.
At IntellectDesignArena, I’ve architected a Playwright-Java automation framework from scratch for complex Agri-loan modules for HDFC Bank. I lead and mentor a team of 8 SDETs, define end-to-end testing strategies, and run rigorous code reviews to ensure high-quality releases.
My standout differentiator is AI-driven Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using LLMs/MCP, which I’ve applied to automate log analysis and reduce manual debugging effort by 40%. I also optimize infrastructure for parallel test execution using AWS (EC2/S3), achieving a 60% reduction in regression cycle time, while ensuring 100% test coverage for critical banking Go-Live phases.
Earlier at SDK InfoTech Pvt Ltd (IDBI Bank), I delivered end-to-end testing for investment banking modules with zero-defect leakage in production releases. I built and maintained a Hybrid Selenium framework (75% automated coverage growth), owned API testing with Rest-Assured and Java (90% coverage), and validated backend data using PostgreSQL/SQL for full data integrity in financial transactions.
