I’m a results-driven QA Automation Engineer / SDET with 5+ years of experience architecting scalable test automation frameworks across web, API, and performance testing. I’ve delivered measurable outcomes like reducing post-release defects by 30%, cutting manual regression effort by 70%, and leading cross-functional QA initiatives end-to-end.

At Incommon Pvt. Ltd. (Veramatic), I architected end-to-end API test suites with Postman and REST Assured, catching 25% more regressions pre-release. I streamlined CI/CD quality gates using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, reducing regression cycle time by 40% and shrinking release windows from 3 days to 1. I also introduced Playwright for cross-browser parallel execution, improving test-run speed by 3×, and mentored 4 junior engineers.

Previously at Thriving Springs, I led a team of 5 QA engineers delivering B2B SaaS test plans and achieved 30% fewer post-release defects. I designed a modular Selenium + Cypress framework from scratch (50% more coverage, 70% less manual effort), integrated nightly regression runs into Jenkins/GitHub Actions with Slack alerts, and owned root-cause analysis that improved customer NPS by 18%.

Earlier at Sensen Networks, I developed Selenium/Java data-driven automation frameworks using Page Object Model, cutting manual regression by 70%. I spearheaded TDD adoption across 3 flagship products, reduced flaky tests by 45% through code reviews enforcing SOLID principles, and authored QA sign-off reports across 8 sprint cycles—backed by a strong quality-improvement and root-cause mindset.
