At Tata Consultancy Services, I lead automation strategy for PNC Retail Lending, including a Selenium WebDriver and Cucumber framework that became the team’s standard approach and reduced regression cycle time by 40%.

I also built the project’s end-to-end API automation capability from scratch using Karate, with MongoDB response validation and dynamic Bearer-token authentication. Earlier, at Capgemini and CSS Corp Pvt. Ltd., I tested web, mobile, and desktop applications.
