About

Professional summary

I am a Quality Engineering Lead and client-recognized subject matter expert with over seven years of experience in software testing, API automation, and quality engineering.

I specialize in designing and implementing API automation solutions using Java, Rest Assured, Postman, Spring Boot, Cucumber BDD, TestNG, JUnit, SQL, and Selenium WebDriver.

I lead test strategy, framework development, release validation, code reviews, and regression testing activities. I have worked closely with cross-functional Agile teams, stakeholders, product owners, and developers to deliver reliable banking applications.

In my current role, I increased API automation coverage to 75–80% and enabled validation of 1,000–2,000 funds within hours instead of relying on manual regression testing. I have also automated more than 1,000 test cases and over 70 APIs.

I bring team leadership, client-facing SME experience, technical interviewing, risk reporting, and continuous integration expertise. Earlier in my career, I also gained experience in civil engineering services and AutoCAD drafting.

Career history

Quality Engineering Lead / Test Lead / Client SME Infosys

I advanced from Test Analyst to Quality Engineering Lead and served as a client SME for CGC (The Capital Group of Companies) in the banking domain. I led API testing and automation initiatives across three key projects, reducing testing time by 50% through Java and Rest Assured automation.

I developed the test strategy for a team of three testers, performed code reviews, and improved release validation accuracy from 80% to 96%. I designed a BDD Cucumber API automation framework and expanded a Spring Boot-based framework, automating more than 70 APIs across CHIPS and Seismic Adapter for response, business-rule, integration, and database validation.

I executed validation for more than 100 APIs through Postman and automated Rest Assured suites. I increased API automation coverage to 75–80%, enabling regression validation of 1,000–2,000 funds within hours, conducted Canadian localization testing for more than 30 APIs, and supported debugging through collection-based testing strategies.

I conducted more than 50 technical interviews, prepared milestone, risk management, and SLA reports, and managed continuous integration with GitHub and Maven. These practices reduced build times by 30% and helped reduce potential project delays by 20%.

Trainee to Senior Engineer - Civil Engineering Services Gsource Technologies

I progressed from Trainee to Senior Engineer in Civil Engineering Services at Gsource Technologies over two years and six months.

I developed more than six detailed AutoCAD drafts and layouts for residential and commercial projects. My work contributed to a 15% improvement in design accuracy and received positive client feedback.
