Working as a QA Engineer, ensuring the quality, reliability, and stability of enterprise applications across aviation, Salesforce, and real estate domains through functional testing, automation, API validation, and end-to-end quality assurance. Key Responsibilities Perform functional, regression, UI, mobile, integration, middleware, Web API, and end-to-end testing for enterprise applications. Execute 100+ test scenarios for business-critical features, validating user workflows, real-time data synchronization, cross-platform functionality, and production readiness. Contribute to Future Mode of Migration (FMO) by performing functional, integration, regression, API, middleware, and production testing to ensure seamless migration and business continuity. Test mobile applications and internal web-based applications, ensuring consistent functionality, usability, and business workflow validation. Conduct REST and SOAP API testing using Postman and SOAP UI, validating request-response behavior, backend integrations, middleware communication, and data integrity. Validate Salesforce Service Cloud and enterprise property management platforms, ensuring business workflows, role-based access, customer journeys, and system integrations function as expected. Develop an internal Python (Tkinter) desktop application that automates screenshot capture, evidence management, and direct upload to QMetry/JIRA, improving QA reporting efficiency. Automate business workflows using ACCELQ and develop reusable Selenium WebDriver automation scripts following the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern. Investigate production issues using SQL validation, log analysis, and root cause analysis, collaborating with development teams for timely defect resolution. Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including Sprint Planning, Backlog Refinement, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, Release Validation, and Production Verification.

About

I enjoy solving quality engineering challenges through automation, scalable testing, and continuous improvement. I'm a QA Engineer with 2 years of experience delivering quality engineering solutions for enterprise applications across aviation, Salesforce, and digital platforms. My work spans functional testing, UI testing, mobile testing, API testing, integration testing, middleware validation, regression testing, and production release verification in Agile environments. Alongside testing, I focus on improving engineering productivity through automation. I've built internal Python tools that automate repetitive QA activities, developed reusable automation components using Selenium WebDriver, automated business workflows with ACCELQ, and continue expanding my expertise in Playwright, REST API automation, and modern automation frameworks. Some of the work I enjoy includes: Building automation solutions using Python, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, and ACCELQ Testing enterprise applications across web, mobile, APIs, middleware, and backend systems Performing REST and SOAP API validation using Postman and SOAP UI Supporting production releases through smoke testing, regression testing, release validation, and production verification Debugging issues using SQL, log analysis, and root cause analysis Working in Agile/Scrum teams with developers, product owners, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable software Beyond my professional work, I actively build automation frameworks and testing projects to strengthen my engineering skills. My GitHub portfolio includes work on: Playwright & Selenium automation frameworks Page Object Model (POM) REST API automation Cross-browser testing CI/CD with GitHub Actions Visual regression and security testing Data-driven testing I'm passionate about building automation that improves software quality, reduces manual effort, and enables engineering teams to deliver reliable products faster. I'm always open to connecting with engineers, recruiters, and teams working in Quality Engineering, Test Automation, SDET, and Software Testing.
