About

Hello, I’m Deepa Srivastava, a Senior Quality Test Engineer based in Bristol, UK with over a decade of experience across Finance, Banking, and Healthcare. I specialize in building robust automation frameworks from scratch using Playwright and Selenium, driving end-to-end quality for complex, data-driven systems. I enjoy turning requirements into reliable, automated tests that protect customers and accelerate product delivery.

I recently completed Generative AI in Software Testing training and am excited to apply AI-driven test generation, intelligent bug detection, and automated maintenance to modernise QA processes. I thrive in cross-functional teams, mentor juniors, and design scalable QA strategies that align with business goals.
