Senior Test Engineer | Playwright (JS/TS) & Selenium Automation | Reduced Manual Testing by 80% | API Testing | CI/CD | Agile

About

I'm a Test Engineer with 2.7 years of experience building automation frameworks and ensuring software ships with confidence. My core stack is Playwright (TypeScript) and Selenium (Java), and I work across the full testing spectrum — functional, regression, smoke, API, and accessibility. At Happiest Minds Technologies, I've contributed to Ascend, an ed-tech nursing platform, where I built and maintained end-to-end automation suites, integrated tests into GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and led API validation efforts using Postman and RestAssured. The results speak: 80% reduction in manual testing effort and 70% faster script development through AI-assisted tooling. I've been recognised three times for ownership, quality delivery, and going the extra mile — including the Distinct Contributor award for Q3 FY26. Before that, at Foxconn, I handled data validation, inventory workflow testing, and mobile app QA — which gave me a strong foundation in structured test design and cross-functional collaboration. I hold a B.Tech in EEE (CGPA: 9.2) and am certified in Playwright automation and Claude AI (Anthropic). I'm actively upskilling in Python and expanding my SDET toolkit. Currently exploring SDET, QA Automation, or Test Engineer roles where I can own the automation strategy, contribute to CI/CD culture, and keep raising the quality bar.
