About me
I am a Software Test Automation Engineer with over 12 years of experience specializing in UI and API automation as well as reliability engineering. Throughout my career, I have developed strong expertise in automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Rest Assured, Cucumber/Gherkin, Protractor, and TestNG. I am proficient in designing and executing tests, managing defects, and driving automation coverage to ensure high-quality software delivery.
I have extensive experience working with CI/CD pipelines, cloud technologies, and chaos engineering to improve system resilience and optimize costs. My skills include test design using Hexawise, test execution, and defect management with tools like QC and Radar. I am passionate about leading teams and projects that deliver innovative and reliable solutions.
In my current role at Fidelity Investments, I lead automation efforts for digital capabilities and financial projection platforms, building frameworks from scratch and piloting AI-assisted test scripting to accelerate development and reduce maintenance. I have also led migration projects to AWS cloud and GitHub, improving deployment automation and cost optimization.
Previously, I have held leadership roles at Mphasis Pvt Limited and Cognizant Technology, where I managed automation testing for various complex projects including Schneider Electric applications and Apple Inc. systems. I have a proven track record of ensuring sprint delivery success, preparing detailed test plans, and mentoring new associates for smooth onboarding.
I am certified as an AWS Certified Developer – Associate, Gremlin Certified Chaos Engineering Practitioner, and Hexawise Test Design Professional. I have been recognized multiple times for delivery excellence, innovation, and leadership in automation testing. I am committed to continuous learning and applying best practices to enhance software quality and team performance.
