## About

I’m an SDET / Automation Test Engineer with 4\+ years of experience focused on building reliable test automation for web and e\-commerce applications\. I work extensively with Python, Selenium WebDriver, PyTest, Page Object Model \(POM\), and automation framework development, turning manual test scenarios into maintainable automated regression coverage\. I also work with API testing using Postman, including REST APIs, GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, authentication, JSON validation, status codes, Collections, Environments, and scripting\. On the DevOps side, I use Azure DevOps Boards, Azure Pipelines, CI/CD, Jenkins, Git, GitHub, and JIRA as part of the testing and release lifecycle\. My testing experience includes functional, regression, smoke, sanity, re\-testing, integration, UI, and cross\-browser testing, with a strong focus on validating end\-to\-end user workflows and maintaining automation as applications evolve\. I also enjoy helping manual testers transition toward automation and strengthening team testing practices\. Alongside QA automation, I’m expanding into Agentic AI with LangChain and LangGraph, including hands\-on work building an AI\-powered IT support agent\. I’m always open to connecting with fellow QA professionals, hiring teams, and recruiters working on SDET and QA Automation opportunities\.
