About

Senior QA Engineer with 5 years of hands-on testing experience — but here's the part that took me longer to learn than any tool or framework: quality isn't something you test into a product at the end. It's something you build in from the first requirement. I specialize in Manual and Automation Testing across Functional, Regression, Smoke, Sanity, Integration, and System testing. On the automation side, I work with Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, and Maven to build reliable test suites, and I use REST Assured and Postman for API testing — with SQL to validate data at the source, not just the surface. Git and Jenkins keep my work version-controlled and CI-ready, and Jira keeps every defect traceable from discovery to resolution. In nearly 5 years at GlobalLogic, I've worked through the full defect lifecycle on production-grade releases — writing test cases from requirements, executing regression suites before every release, logging and tracking defects to closure, and collaborating directly with developers to catch issues before they reach users. Before that, at LG Soft India, I built my foundation in structured manual testing on consumer software products. Across both roles, I've operated in Agile teams, working sprint by sprint rather than testing everything at the finish line. Right now, I'm focused on deepening my automation coverage and helping my team shift testing earlier in the development cycle — because the earlier a bug is caught, the cheaper it is to fix. I work best with engineering teams that see QA as a partner in building the product, not a gate at the end of it. If you're building a QA process, scaling test automation, or just want to talk shop about Selenium frameworks or defect triage — I'd love to connect. Feel free to reach out or drop a comment on my posts.
