About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Automation Test Engineer and SDET with over 7.5 years of experience building, maintaining, and modernizing UI and API automation frameworks for enterprise applications.

I specialize in Java, Groovy, Selenium WebDriver, RestAssured, ReadyAPI, and BDD/TestNG-based automation. My work spans functional, regression, smoke, build verification, integration, accessibility, and data-driven testing.

I have strong experience working in Agile delivery teams and CI/CD environments, using Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Maven, Gradle, Git, Gerrit, JIRA, and Confluence to support reliable test execution and reporting.

In my current role, I led the migration of more than 1,400 ReadyAPI scripts to a Java RestAssured framework within three weeks using AI-assisted development tools. I also mentor QA engineers, manage automation delivery, and help reduce manual regression effort.

I am experienced in root-cause analysis, SQL-based data validation, defect lifecycle management, and collaboration with development teams to improve release quality. I have also configured test environments and worked with Kubernetes, OpenStack, Linux, and Windows platforms.

I am recognized for driving automation initiatives, cross-team quality improvements, and high-priority releases while maintaining a practical focus on scalable automation and continuous quality improvement.
