Saurabh Ramtekkar

I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer (Test Engineer) with 8 years of experience in banking and fintech, focused on payments testing and mainframe automation. I drive automation-first strategies in regulated environments, with a strong emphasis on quality, reliability, and measurable efficiency.

At Barclays Bank PLC, I architected and delivered Playwright- and Karate-based frameworks that reduced regression effort by up to 50% across Visa and VisionPlus workflows. I also built the Proton automation framework, integrating Playwright (UI) and Karate (API) with BrowserStack and Experitest to scale automation across web, API, and mobile platforms.

I improve CI/CD execution stability by integrating automation into pipelines and partnering with developers to strengthen failure diagnostics and test reliability. I’ve advanced framework capabilities like Shadow DOM handling, data-driven testing, and cross-browser execution—boosting automation stability by approximately 35–40% and increasing adoption by about 30% across teams.

Before that, as a Software Engineer in Test, I performed manual functional and regression testing of VisionPlus mainframe applications, validating high-risk payment workflows and compliance with Visa and Mastercard network regulations. I’ve automated high-risk authorization, clearing, and settlement workflows—cutting manual regression effort by 40–50%—and earned multiple “Outstanding” performance ratings, plus internal thought leadership through an automation success story.
