What I'm looking for

I'm transitioning from QA Engineering in the OTT and Media industry to advanced software testing and automation roles, where I can apply my multimedia validation, streaming performance, and device interoperability experience.

At Global Logic, I developed and executed test strategies for streaming platforms, including integrating stream-bars and subwoofers into existing frameworks for Roku. My work helped accelerate release cycles while maintaining manual and automated test coverage.

For Discovery & Crunchyroll, I tested playback, bitrate adaptation, captions, subtitles, and audio-video sync across web, mobile, and TV platforms. I also validated CDN performance and API behavior, and used Postman and Charles Proxy to test and debug services and traffic.

At Global Logic, I established device recovery protocols that reduced streaming hardware downtime by 60%. Earlier, I conducted set-top-box, Headend, and CAS testing at Reliance Big TV, and planned and executed test cases at Yokogawa India.
