About

As an Assistant Vice President at Kotak Securities specializing in Testing, I have spearheaded the design and implementation of advanced automation frameworks for fintech solutions. My flagship project is an AI-driven Web Automation Framework, architected with Playwright, Codegen, and integrated AI modules, enabling seamless record-and-playback capabilities for large-scale web application testing and rapid regression validation. In addition, I possess extensive expertise in API automation, having delivered end-to-end automated suites using REST Assured and Karate DSL. My strength lies in applying automation and API testing methodologies to ensure bulletproof quality, security, and top-tier performance for banking and investment products. My technology ecosystem includes—but is not limited to—Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, AutoIT, Maven, GIT, Jenkins, and AWS. I am adept at implementing both TDD and BDD methodologies for scalable and maintainable test frameworks. My experience spans both frontend web automation as well as backend API testing, employing SOAP, REST, HttpClient, SOAP UI, JSON, XML, Postman, and JMeter. I routinely use Gatling for advanced performance and load testing scenarios. Leveraging strong proficiency in Java, along with solid foundations in data structures and algorithms, I am able to craft optimized, reusable, and robust test cases and automation scripts. My responsibilities have included continuous integration and deployment workflows, cloud-based test orchestration, and Agile-based project management (using JIRA and similar tools). Additionally, my academic grounding is in Biomedical/Medical Engineering (B.E., Ramaiah Institute of Technology), where I cultivated a passion for technology at the intersection of health and finance. This unique perspective enables me to deliver innovative solutions bridging AI, automation, and high-assurance testing practices for next-generation fintech services.
