About

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics from Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (Mumbai University), graduating in 2016. My strong foundation in engineering sparked a passion for technology and software quality, which I have continued to pursue through industry certifications and continuous learning. I’ve completed courses in MongoDB, Docker, Playwright, Mocha, Chai, and more, reflecting my commitment to upskilling and staying current with industry trends. I'm particularly interested in test automation, DevOps, and backend integration. With over 8 years of experience in the tech industry, including 4+ years in automation, I currently serve as an SDET II at Fynd (Shopsense Retail Technologies Ltd.), where I lead automation initiatives for web and API testing. I specialize in Playwright with TypeScript, and have successfully automated the Administrator Platform, reducing regression time by 70%. My tech stack includes JavaScript, Python, Mocha, Chai, REST, GraphQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, and I work in an Agile environment with strong exposure to CI/CD practices. Earlier, I worked as a Technical Support Specialist at forBinary, where I focused on platform testing and API troubleshooting. Across roles, I’ve demonstrated strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, often working cross-functionally to deliver high-impact automation solutions. I aspire to evolve into a Test Architect or QA Automation Lead, where I can design scalable automation frameworks, mentor junior engineers, and help teams shift left in the development cycle. I'm also exploring opportunities to deepen my skills in DevOps, cloud-based testing, and observability tools to contribute to full-lifecycle quality engineering. My long-term vision is to help companies build reliable, high-quality software by integrating testing as a core component of the development process. 📧 Email: pranav1214@gmail.com
