SDET Lead at Accion Labs improving Java test automation and reducing release defects by 35%.

India

Message

At Accion Labs, I own automation across 13+ enterprise repositories and am redesigning legacy suites into a reusable Java-based hybrid Page Object Model framework. I introduced REST Assured API checks before UI automation and strengthened CI/CD quality gates, contributing to a 35% reduction in release defects.

I also integrated GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex into automation workflows with human code review, increasing automation delivery velocity by 40%. I analyze test failures, address flaky tests and framework gaps, and coach junior QA engineers through code reviews and debugging.

Previously, at UST Global, I developed automated UI tests covering 200+ cases and built regression suites that reached 85% coverage. Across earlier roles at Cognizant Technology Solutions and TPF Software, I worked on UI and API testing, test frameworks, and defect resolution.
