@pratikdahekar
Software Development Engineer in Test building scalable Python automation for enterprise UI and API.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Development Engineer in Test with 2 years of experience designing and implementing automation frameworks for enterprise financial systems. I build modular, maintainable test architectures using Python, Playwright, PyTest, and PyTest-BDD (PageObject Model + BDD feature/step definitions) and I focus on reliability, traceability, and fast feedback.
In my AM_SMA project at Wipro (Client: UBS), I enabled configuration-driven runs, reusable fixtures, secure test data masking, and parallel execution via PyTest xdist—cutting regression runtime by 40%. I also integrated Allure reporting and GitLab CI pipelines for automated regression during build validation, and improved data migration validation by verifying SQL source/target consistency and reducing flaky failures. Previously, as a Software Engineer at Grawlix, I delivered REST APIs with Node.js/TypeScript, implemented OAuth 2.0 + JWT, and improved performance through SQL query optimization and indexing.
