@sauravpatil
QA automation lead specializing in Katalon Studio for Telecom BSS/OSS testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Lead QA Engineer with 8.8 years of experience delivering enterprise-scale Quality Engineering solutions across Telecom BSS/OSS and Healthcare. I specialize in designing and implementing UI, API, and Mobile Automation Frameworks using Katalon Studio for over 5 years.
I lead QA teams with a hands-on, end-to-end approach—driving Manual Functional Testing, API Testing, Regression, Smoke Testing, System Integration Testing, and UAT. In my recent roles, I managed QA organizations of up to 13 members and owned QA team & test management, including risk mitigation and resource allocation.
My work consistently turns into measurable impact: I reduced regression cycles by 40%, lowered manual testing effort by 65%, improved defect resolution speed by 50%, and delivered automation frameworks 5 months ahead of schedule. I’ve architected hybrid automation frameworks (Data-Driven and Keyword-Driven) with strong API-first strategies and reusable object repositories for UI and API layers.
I also focus on next-gen engineering by building Agentic AI and Intelligent TestOps ecosystems, including self-healing automation and intelligent object identification. Whether it’s Telecom Order Management and Service Assurance workflows or Healthcare EDI and HIPAA validation, I aim to accelerate delivery while keeping quality predictable and scalable.
