About
I am a Software QA Automation Engineer with experience across fintech and SaaS domains, focused on delivering high-quality, reliable software solutions. I specialize in automating web, mobile, and API applications by designing scalable and maintainable automation frameworks that enable early defect detection and efficient testing processes.
I have hands-on experience with Python, Java, and JavaScript, building automation frameworks from scratch using Playwright, Selenium, and Appium. I specialize in integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines, executing automated tests, leveraging cloud-based and AI-assisted testing, and validating backend processes with MySQL and PostgreSQL. I began my career as a Software Engineer at eInfochips, developing MVC-based web applications and customizing CRM workflows, which gives me a strong understanding of application architecture and system design and enables effective collaboration with engineering teams.
I have completed a Full Stack Development extension course from Georgia Tech University, USA, enhancing my skills in building robust web applications, and hold an AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification, strengthening my expertise in cloud-based solutions.
I am passionate about designing efficient and maintainable automation frameworks, solving complex problems, and continuously improving testing processes. I enjoy building robust automated solutions that ensure high-quality software and deliver meaningful business value.
