SDET focused on enterprise test automation, Java/Selenium, and faster CI-driven quality feedback.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) and Automation Test Engineer with around 1 year and 8 months of experience improving technical quality assurance through test automation and continuous integration execution across enterprise software applications.
I architect and scale automation frameworks using Java, Selenium WebDriver, and TestNG—leveraging KCAFE Hybrid Frameworks and Page Object Model (POM) patterns to build maintainable regression suites. I’m especially proud of modernizing execution workflows by transforming 1,300+ manual UAT scenarios into self-healing, zero-touch automated regression suites.
In my current role, I manage full-lifecycle testing execution including Functional, Regression, Smoke, Sanity, and Cross-Browser validation matrices. I also build and validate API test infrastructure with Postman and REST Assured, strengthening end-to-end confidence for enterprise Guidewire insurance applications.
Beyond execution, I collaborate in high-velocity Agile Scrum teams, run weekly client technical walkthroughs and code reviews, and serve as a SPOC during intensive UAT phases. I’ve also supported onboarding through structured training bootcamps, KT, and practical lab sessions for New Graduate Trainees.
