I am Ashwinder Puri, a software quality assurance professional with extensive experience across Wealth Management, Government Services, Banking, Nuclear Energy, Finance, and Healthcare.

I hold Blue Prism Certified Solution Designer and UiPath Advanced Developer credentials, have Scrum Master certification, and am ISTQB certified.
I collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and business analysts to refine acceptance criteria and data/edge-case scenarios for web and enterprise applications. I build scalable automation frameworks, drive CI/CD integration, and perform accessibility testing under AODA standards, while communicating clear defect narratives and providing go/no-go input to stakeholders. I enjoy mentoring colleagues and continuously improving QA processes.
