What I'm looking for

I seek a role focusing on test automation and performance engineering within an agile team where I can build scalable frameworks, improve test reliability, and mentor engineers.

I am a Senior Test Automation Engineer with seven years of experience in automation, performance, and manual testing across web, API and mobile platforms. I have built automation frameworks from scratch, automated multiple microservices using RestAssured with Java, and implemented CI pipelines with Jenkins.

My background includes performance testing using LoadRunner, Locust and Performance Center, and observability with AppDynamics and Splunk. I have driven testing efforts for large-scale products at PhonePe, Walmart Global Tech and Mphasis, contributing measurable improvements in test coverage and debugging throughput.

I value pragmatic automation, efficient test design, and collaborative agile delivery. I seek roles where I can scale test automation, improve performance practices, and mentor teams to deliver reliable, high-quality software.
