About

🔧 What I Do I'm a QA Automation Engineer (SDET) at LTIMindtree with 2.5+ years of experience building scalable test automation frameworks for enterprise applications. My core stack is Java + Selenium WebDriver + TestNG, and I work extensively with REST Assured and Postman for API testing, and Cucumber for BDD. 🏭 Current Work I'm currently working on a Production Control System for a leading manufacturing client — a critical enterprise web application that manages end-to-end production operations. I own the automation layer: building the Hybrid Framework, writing test scripts, setting up parallel execution, and integrating everything into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for continuous quality delivery. 📌 What I've Built & Delivered → Designed and delivered a Hybrid Automation Framework from scratch, now used by the full QA team → 500+ automated test scripts covering UI, regression, smoke, and integration scenarios → Parallel test execution via TestNG — significantly reduced suite run time → Integrated automation into CI/CD (Jenkins + Git) for auto-triggered regression on every deployment → Consistent zero-defect releases through comprehensive pre-release validation cycles 🛠 Tech Stack Java • Selenium WebDriver • TestNG • JUnit • Cucumber (BDD) • REST Assured • Postman • Jenkins • Git • Maven • JIRA • IntelliJ IDEA 📚 Currently Exploring Playwright, API automation at scale, and performance testing concepts — always looking to expand the toolkit. 💬 Let's Connect Open to connecting with QA engineers, SDETs, automation architects, and recruiters in the testing space.
