Senior software testing professional specializing in automation and team leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software testing professional with 14+ years of experience across telecom, banking, and education domains, currently serving as a Senior Consultant at Infosys in Bangalore. I bring eight years of automation expertise and a consistent record of delivering high-quality projects on time.
I have led multiple cross-functional QA teams, delivering zero-slippage projects while mentoring and onboarding new members. I built a POC for framework migration from Cucumber-Selenium-Java to Playwright-TypeScript and implemented code coverage for automation scripts using Cobertura-Jenkins.
My hands-on technical experience includes building automation in Robot Framework, PyTest, Selenium, Playwright, and TestNG using languages such as Python, Java, C#, and TypeScript, and integrating tests with CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, Jenkins, and cloud services on AWS. I have automated API and UI test suites, resolved regression failures, and contributed to keyword/library development for test automation.
I am proactive in knowledge sharing, have received multiple client appreciations for automation excellence and on-time delivery, and hold advanced degrees/certifications including an M.Tech in Software Engineering and several Infosys generative AI certifications. I seek opportunities to drive automation strategy, quality engineering, and team growth in challenging product or platform environments.
