About

🚀 SDET | QA Automation Engineer | Cloud-Native & Microservices Quality | UI & API Automation | Python | Selenium | Robot Framework I’m an SDET with 5+ years of experience building automation frameworks and scaling quality engineering for cloud-native, microservices-driven SaaS platforms. My work focuses on strengthening release stability, optimizing CI/CD workflows, and validating distributed systems end-to-end across high-volume, real-world environments. Across Druva and Veritas, I’ve improved regression efficiency by 35–75%, expanded API and UI automation coverage across 15+ core services, reduced integration defects by 30%+, and accelerated CI/CD test pipelines by 20–30%. I specialize in validating complex data workflows, event-driven pipelines, AI-enabled features, and distributed storage components—ensuring consistency, correctness, and resilience at scale. 💡 Key Strengths: - Scalable UI & API automation (Python, Robot Framework, Selenium) - Microservices integration & contract testing (REST, gRPC) - Cloud-native validation across AWS-like platforms - CI/CD optimization, parallel test execution & flake reduction - Data integrity, workflow validation & distributed systems quality Driven by a continuous improvement mindset, I focus on building automation and quality strategies that empower engineering teams to deliver fast, stable, and reliable cloud-native releases.
