What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA in Agile teams, focusing on Playwright/TypeScript automation, API validation, and CI/CD integration to reduce regression time and improve coverage, while driving defect resolution and release quality.

I’m a results-driven Senior QA Engineer with 7+ years of experience delivering high-quality software through robust test automation and manual testing strategies. I specialize in Playwright with TypeScript, API validation, and CI/CD integration, with a proven track record of reducing regression cycles and improving test coverage.

In Agile environments within the BFSI domain, I lead QA efforts and partner with stakeholders to drive defect resolution. I’ve built and integrated automation frameworks in CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) and applied strong testing techniques—functional, regression, UAT, smoke, sanity, integration, system, and end-to-end—to strengthen release quality.
