Senior QA automation consultant delivering Python-based testing, API validation, and defect-driven quality planning for enterprise clients.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Senior Consultant focused on delivering high-quality software through meticulous test case execution, defect tracking, and clear quality planning. Currently at KPMG, I lead testing initiatives for the Atlassian application, ensuring high-quality deliverables through careful test case execution and defect tracking using Jira, including API testing within Agile environments. I also excel at project management, change management, and client interactions to keep quality aligned with business goals.
Earlier, as a Quality Analyst at Team lease Digital, I led testing for the CommSec application and designed API test cases using Postman/REST Assured to validate RESTful and SOAP payloads, status codes, and error handling. I automated API regression suites with Python (requests library), reducing manual effort by ~40%, and performed end-to-end API integration testing across microservices and third-party systems. Across my career (including earlier work at Wipro), I’ve owned Functional, Integration, Regression, System, E2E, and Acceptance testing, authored detailed scripts from requirements, and consistently used root cause analysis to resolve failures—backed by an ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (2018) certification.
