I’m Adrish Hussain, a Senior QA Engineer with over 13 years of experience testing complex data, cloud, and integration systems across education, finance, and e-commerce. I thrive on delivering high-quality software by combining strong manual testing with automation focus, especially around Azure services, SQL databases, and API validation. I enjoy collaborating with developers, BAs, and product owners to define acceptance criteria and ensure solid test coverage across multiple concurrent Agile projects. In my work, I’ve built and maintained UI automation with TypeScript and Playwright, validated Azure-based data integrations (Data Factory, Databricks, Logic Apps), and performed thorough data validation across Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL. I’m comfortable working end-to-end on front-end, back-end, and data-driven systems, always aiming to improve reliability, release confidence, and team velocity.
