Performance testing lead specializing in scalable web and microservices performance engineering.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a performance testing and performance engineering specialist with 15 years of experience in QA for web and microservices applications. I lead teams, design test strategies, and build scalable performance test frameworks to validate system reliability.
I have hands-on expertise in Apache JMeter, LoadRunner, BlazeMeter, Docker-based distributed testing, CI/CD integrations, and API performance testing. I routinely integrate performance suites into pipelines and containerize test environments for repeatable, automated execution.
My profiling and monitoring experience includes New Relic, Dynatrace, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK/Splunk, JVisualVM, YourKit, and Eclipse MAT, allowing me to identify memory leaks, thread contention, and other bottlenecks and recommend optimizations.
I collaborate closely with development, DevOps, and architecture teams to improve application performance (notably improving API response times by up to 30% in past projects), produce detailed analysis reports, and drive production-readiness through performance engineering best practices.
