SDET | Test Automation Engineer | Python, Selenium, pytest-bdd, Postman | API & UI Automation | CI/CD Regression Frameworks

About

I build test automation for systems where a missed defect is expensive — medical research data, threat detection, energy pricing, enterprise audit platforms. Over five years I've moved from writing scripts to owning quality end-to-end: designing API and UI regression frameworks in Python, wiring them into Jenkins so they run every release, and acting as the quality gate for teams shipping fast. Most of my work is API-first — Postman and Newman frameworks, REST validation across microservices, integration testing where data has to stay correct across a dozen downstream systems. Currently at Joules to Watts supporting GE Healthcare, leading quality engineering for applications delivering research data to hospitals and institutions studying complex and terminal disease. Previously: Trustwave's threat-analysis platform at Encora, Shell's pricing APIs, Mavenir's telecom microservices, PwC's audit management platform. Also published independent research proposing a discrete-gravity framework for unifying quantum mechanics with general relativity. Open to SDET, Test Architect and QA lead roles in Bengaluru or remote. kumarmihir541@gmail.com
