Khandakar Shakir Hossain
@shakirhossain
SDET focused on AI-driven automation and reliable CI/CD test execution.
BangladeshWhat I'm looking for
I’m an SDET with 12+ years in QA, including 6+ years of automation across API testing, microservices validation, and CRM integration testing. I build maintainable automation frameworks and optimize CI/CD pipelines to improve release stability and confidence.
In my current role, I designed a Playwright + Cucumber framework that cut regression test time by 50% and supported daily deployments. I also removed 16% flaky tests (115 of 700) by integrating Trunk into CI/CD, and reduced CI execution time by 60% through parallel execution, selective runs with Cucumber tags, and optimized UI locators.
I apply AI-assisted tooling—Playwright MCP Server, GitHub Copilot, and Claude CLI—to increase test creation speed by 35% and boost test coverage by 15%. I’ve also driven major QA process improvements, including multi-agent QA systems (AutoGen) that generate and execute smoke tests, plus self-healing automation that generates, runs, and repairs tests autonomously.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Designed a Playwright + Cucumber modular framework with custom API clients, cutting regression time by 50% and supporting daily deployments. Eliminated 115/700 (16%) flaky tests via Trunk in CI, reduced CI execution time by 60%, and used AI-assisted tooling to increase test creation speed by 35% and coverage by 15%.
Led a 3-member QA team in Agile sprint test planning, task delegation, and coordination for on-time quality sign-off. Validated mission-critical CRM integrations (Salesforce, ConnectWise, Autotask, ServiceNow), accelerated API testing by 60% with Postman/Newman, and reduced production defects by 15% by analyzing microservice failures with Kubernetes logs and Datadog traces.
