QA Automation Engineer improving release quality through scalable UI and API testing using Selenium, Java and TestNG.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Automation Engineer with nearly 5 years of experience delivering reliable testing across web, API, and enterprise applications. I focus on functional, regression, API, and visual testing—helping teams improve release quality, test reliability, and delivery efficiency.
At Cognizant, I designed and maintained a scalable Selenium-TestNG automation framework using Page Object Model (POM), Maven, and Extent Reports, including parallel execution on BrowserStack to reduce execution time by 35%. I automated 200+ regression scenarios, integrated suites into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for faster feedback, and built visual regression coverage with Percy alongside Lighthouse audits to catch UI inconsistencies, accessibility gaps, and performance issues before UAT.
