Software QA Engineering Manager, Lead QA Engineer, QA Architect, Principal QA Engineer, SDET

I am a Senior QA Engineering Leader and Test Automation Architect with over 20 years of experience delivering robust, scalable software products across enterprise SaaS, fintech, and distributed platforms.

At Yashvi Web Tech, I directed a team of 50 QA professionals, orchestrating end-to-end testing strategies, defect management, and CI/CD quality gates that boosted testing efficiency by 25%. As a practicing Scrum Master, I bridged technical and business requirements to eliminate deployment bottlenecks and safeguard production stability.

Core Expertise:

• Test Automation & Architecture: Python, Playwright, Selenium, and modular framework design

• API & Integration Testing: RESTful APIs, Postman, microservices validation, and data integrity

• Performance & Scalability: High-load benchmarking, JMeter, and LoadRunner

• DevOps & Quality Culture: GitHub Actions, CI/CD automated regression suites, and risk mitigation

I am passionate about driving modern quality engineering, cutting down flaky tests, and building automated release pipelines that empower distributed teams to ship fast with zero defect leakage.
