About

I'm a Senior QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience owning end-to-end quality for AI-powered communication and SaaS platforms. At Sanas AI, I lead Linux platform QA for a real-time AI audio processing product — driving release reliability through Python-based API automation, rigorous regression testing, and cross-platform validation across Linux, Windows, and macOS. I've helped ship 3+ major releases with zero P0 defects post-release. What sets me apart is a rare combination of API testing depth and hands-on security testing experience — OWASP ZAP, Nmap, and Kali Linux — that most QA engineers don't have. I've identified 15+ medium/high severity vulnerabilities across audit cycles and built automation that cut regression cycle time by ~35%. Previously at Careervira, I owned QA for an EdTech platform serving 100K+ users, maintaining a <0.5% post-release defect escape rate across 12+ production releases. I'm currently building Playwright + Python UI automation and actively seeking my next Senior QA / QA Lead opportunity in Bengaluru or remote. 🔧 Core skills: REST API Testing · Python · Security Testing · OWASP ZAP · Postman · Docker · AWS/Azure/GCP · Linux · Playwright · SQL · Jira · TestRail
