About

I have over a year of hands-on experience in software testing — identifying critical defects early, increasing test coverage, and supporting stable, reliable releases. At VxO Digital, I've executed 250+ test cases across SaaS platform releases and contributed to a ~25% reduction in post-release production defects. My day-to-day covers manual testing, defect lifecycle management in JIRA, and building towards test automation using Selenium and TestNG. My full-stack development background (Java, SQL, HTML/CSS/JS) means I don't just find bugs — I understand why they happen, which makes root cause analysis faster and fixes more precise. Currently focused on growing into QA automation and SDET roles, where I can contribute to scalable testing frameworks and long-term software reliability. Open to QA and SDET roles in Bengaluru or remote. 📩 naiklohit1803@gmail.com
