At Whatfix, I designed scalable software solutions with end-to-end feature ownership and led client testing to validate functionality and performance.

As an SDET II, I automated more than 300 UI test cases with Java, Selenium, Playwright, and TestNG, and built more than 200 REST API tests using Rest Assured. I owned quality engineering from requirement analysis through production release.

At Evive, I led concurrent projects and managed QA and SDET teams of up to seven people. I established release and testing processes, supported agile ceremonies, trained new hires, and delivered automation for web, mobile, backend API, and compatibility testing.

I also contributed to Java REST APIs, GWT and React UI features, Elasticsearch-based personalized search, QuickRead, and analytics workflows. I focus on practical automation, reliable releases, and continuous quality improvement.
