SDET with 2+ years building scalable Python test automation frameworks and AI-assisted quality strategies for distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 2+ years of experience owning end-to-end quality in Agile environments—from requirements review and test planning through automated execution, defect triage, and release sign-off.
At Vaaree, I architected scalable automation frameworks using Python, Playwright, and Selenium, scaling automated coverage from 40% to 75% and reducing regression cycle time by 35%. I define comprehensive test strategies across UI, API, and system integration layers, reviewing product requirements and developer code to surface quality risks early within sprint cycles. I also integrated the OpenAI API into an internal QA platform to drive AI-driven test case generation and automated reporting, reducing manual authoring effort and improving edge case coverage across complex workflows.
Previously at TestYantra, I built a framework for a distributed loan processing system using Python and SQL, cutting manual testing effort by 30% and reducing testing cycle time by 20% while improving validation accuracy. I strengthened REST API automation and service validation to improve API reliability by 15% over two quarters, and I tightened defect tracking and sprint delivery using JIRA—improving timeline adherence by 25%. Across roles, I integrate automated suites into CI/CD with Jenkins and maintain strong release readiness through root cause analysis and collaboration, and I’ve mentored a 5-person QA team to raise coverage, reliability, and team execution speed.
