Integrated Redshift with Power BI for real-time analytics dashboards and insights. Experienced with Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, and Elasticsearch for observability, container orchestration, and CI/CD automation.
Participated in the testing of a mobile application by designing and executing manual test cases to ensure product quality and stability. Engaged in the requirements design process and took part in team meetings to discuss application implementation, gaining a clear understanding of features and testing scope. Performed manual testing on mobile devices, validating critical functionalities across various environments and platforms. Prepared necessary testing resources such as PDF documents, images, QR codes, and other assets to enable effective manual testing. Acquired basic experience with Docker by running pre-configured containers locally via the command line to support the testing environment. Handled bug reporting, documenting issues clearly and efficiently to assist the development team during debugging and resolution.
Worked on testing the Instrument Cluster for automotive applications, including manual testing, regression, and confirmation testing to validate system behavior. Executed automated test cases using an internal automation tool, ensuring consistent validation of key functionalities. Managed bug reporting in Jira and created detailed test reports and documentation. Worked with a vehicle simulation environment built in Vector CANoe, modifying input variables/signals and verifying output signals, including displays, pointers, LEDs, and lamps. Tested CAN communication between the instrument cluster and the simulation environment to ensure reliable message exchange and compliance with communication protocols.
Worked on a web application developed using Java for the backend and Angular for the frontend. Responsible for performing smoke, regression, and confirmation testing to ensure functionality and stability. Conducted API testing using Postman and developed, maintained, and executed automated API tests using Karate-Gatling and Java. Created and maintained automated UI test suites with Selenium, Java, and TestNG. Performed code reviews, collaborated with the team to implement improvements and alternative solutions for the automation framework, reported issues in Azure DevOps, and worked with Git for version control and repository management.
Contributed to both a Desktop application and a Web application developed using C#. Responsible for manual testing including regression and confirmation testing to ensure product quality and compliance with requirements. Designed and executed manual and automated test cases and validated functionalities aligned with product specifications. Performed automated testing using an internal automation framework for desktop and benchmark testing and maintained and ran automated UI tests using Selenium with C#. Performed code reviews for test automation and collaborated with the team to implement automation improvements and alternative solutions. Worked closely with developers to provide feedback and propose application-level improvements, participated in Agile ceremonies, and was responsible for bug reporting in Jira. Used Git for version control and Jenkins for continuous integration and execution of automated test suites.
Gained solid knowledge of Java fundamentals including syntax, classes, data types, language basics, operators, access modifiers, constructors, static methods, and attributes. Developed strong understanding of Object-Oriented Programming principles such as inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, and abstract classes/methods. Experienced with collections, utilizing libraries like Apache Commons, and proficient in string processing using StringBuffer, StringBuilder, and Apache Commons utilities. Familiar with IO operations including file handling and exporting data to CSV formats. Knowledgeable about threading concepts including synchronized blocks and thread-safe collections.
