Tapas Banerjee

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 11+ years of experience delivering enterprise software quality across cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and hybrid environments. I specialize in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), hybrid cloud testing, API testing, and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).

At VMware (by Broadcom), I lead end-to-end quality assurance for VMware Live Cyber Recovery and VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR), focusing on enterprise-grade ransomware recovery across hybrid cloud deployments. I designed and developed automated API tests using Python (Pytest) and REST APIs, and I enhanced test automation frameworks by integrating them into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins for continuous testing and faster releases.

I’m known for strong debugging and root cause analysis—at VMware, I conducted deep-dive investigations on critical cybersecurity bugs and reduced mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) by an estimated 30% through detailed engineering reports. I also created, maintained, and executed manual and automated test cases to simulate real-world scenarios and validate system behavior.

Previously at Datrium (acquired by VMware), I drove QA for Datrium DVX Hyper-Converged Infrastructure and cloud DR products, validating data protection, deduplication, and compression at enterprise scale. I developed and executed automated API and regression tests, reducing manual effort by 40%, and I supported post-acquisition integration testing to ensure seamless continuity. I’m currently expanding into AI/ML to stay ahead of the technology curve.
