IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Test Engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering high-quality Web, Mobile, and Desktop testing in Agile environments. I focus on Functional Testing, API validation, regression management, STLC/SDLC, and accessibility compliance to strengthen test coverage and improve release confidence.
At Tech Mahindra, I led end-to-end functional testing for quarterly releases, designing structured test scenarios and plans that improved regression coverage by ~30%. I identified critical production-impacting defects in pre-release cycles, reducing post-release defect leakage by nearly ~25%, while managing the complete defect lifecycle using Compax and partnering closely with development teams.
Previously at Lodestone Software Services, I validated high-traffic consumer workflows for Reddit across Web, Mobile, and Desktop, and used JIRA to improve defect reporting quality and reduce re-opened defects by ~20%. I also perform Accessibility Testing with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack, and support API and data validation with Postman (REST endpoint/auth flows) and basic SQL for test data consistency—always aiming for scalable, user-centric releases.
