## About

```text
At Quality-AI, I architected scalable Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium frameworks across web, mobile, and cloud applications, increasing E2E automation coverage by 55%. I also integrated Claude Code with Playwright and Browser MCP servers to generate test scripts, automate nightly regression jobs, and produce framework documentation.

I created Datadog synthetic tests to monitor critical user journeys and API endpoints, and designed API automation suites and continuous testing pipelines. Earlier, at Mindtree, I architected modular web and mobile automation frameworks for CRM, Salesforce, and cloud apps; across my work, I’ve also validated cloud services and ETL pipelines and led QA teams and test strategy.
