About Me

I am a Senior Test Automation Engineer with 7+ years in QA and testing, including 4+ years building and maintaining Selenium + Java automation frameworks from the ground up and integrating them into CI/CD. I use Cursor, Claude Code, and custom GPTs to accelerate framework development while keeping standards and maintainability high.

Test Engineer

Jan 2022 – Jun 2025

  • Founded the organisation's test automation practice — from gap analysis and POCs through framework, standards, and stakeholder buy-in where no dedicated automation function previously existed.
  • Architected a Selenium + Java framework from scratch (POM, reusable utilities, centralized logging, data-driven execution), now the standard suite across 2 project teams.
  • Automated regression for 50+ business-critical modules, cutting cycle time from ~2 days of manual effort to ~3 hours unattended and reducing manual regression effort by ~40%.
  • Integrated the suite into Jenkins CI/CD for nightly and post-deployment runs, surfacing critical-path regressions within ~15 minutes.
  • Defined framework standards, scripting guidelines, and review gates; led and mentored 4 engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and KT sessions.
  • Delivered end-to-end UI and API automation (Rest Assured) for a Vendor Management System, including its Angular-based revamp.

QA Engineer

Sep 2018 – Jan 2022

  • Owned functional and regression testing for web-based retail solutions, building and maintaining a 700-case regression suite that caught 60+ defects pre-release each cycle.
  • Authored, executed, and maintained detailed test scenarios; reported and tracked defects to closure and validated fixes across releases.
  • Partnered closely with developers to define testing strategy and safeguard product quality through each release cycle.

Key Projects

Automation frameworks and quality engineering initiatives I have designed and delivered for enterprise applications.

Selenium Automation Framework

Cut regression from ~2 days manual effort to ~3 hours unattended

Designed a POM-based Selenium + Java framework with reusable components, utilities, reporting, and data-driven execution. Adopted as the standard suite across project teams and wired into Jenkins for CI-driven regression.

API Automation Framework

UI + API coverage for complex role-based VMS workflows

Built Rest Assured API validation alongside UI automation for a Vendor Management System — covering multi-user, role-based recruitment and vendor-onboarding workflows through the Angular revamp.
