What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior QA role where I can own end-to-end quality in Agile teams, build reliable UI/API/DB automation in CI/CD, and use AI-assisted testing to accelerate failure analysis and reduce flakiness.

I’m a Senior QA Analyst with 5+ years of hands-on experience spanning manual testing, UI automation, API automation, and database testing across web, mobile, and microservices platforms in fintech, retail, and insurance, Telecom domains. I’m equally skilled in writing test plans and executing exploratory testing, while building automation frameworks with Playwright, Selenium, Appium, and Cypress.

At NeoPaymint, I led a Selenium → Playwright migration in TypeScript, cutting end-to-end test execution time by ~40% and reducing flaky test rate by over 60%. I also architected dual automation frameworks (Playwright for web UI and Pytest for backend Temporal APIs and database workflows), integrated runs into Jenkins CI with Docker/Kubernetes, built an AI-powered failure-analysis agent (saving ~6 hours per sprint), and used JMeter to uncover bottlenecks—improving p95 API response times from ~1,800 ms to under 600 ms ahead of launch.
