## About

```text
At Navex, I design and maintain Python and Selenium test suites using the Page Object Model and pytest. I grew automated regression coverage to 70% and cut manual regression time by 40%.

I also validate backend services across 15+ services with Postman API tests and SQL database checks. By integrating automated tests into Jenkins and GitHub Actions, I helped cut release cycle time by 25%.

At Navex, I use Claude and GitHub Copilot to speed up test case design, cutting test-authoring time by 30%. I also mentor three junior engineers and coordinate testing with developers, business analysts, and product owners.

Previously, at NIIT Limited, I designed and executed 500+ manual test cases and tracked defects using Jira. I contributed to reducing production defects by 20% through rigorous validation.
