Available to hire
Hi, I’m Siddu Kanuparthi, ISTQB Certified Software Professional with over 15 years of QA experience spanning Web, API, SaaS, Performance, Big Data, and ETL testing. I specialize in shifting quality left by integrating the Automation Test Pyramid into Agile workflows and embedding automated checks early in the development process, while leveraging CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous quality and faster release cycles.
I’ve built scalable, maintainable test frameworks from scratch for private and AWS cloud platforms, and I leverage Kubernetes and Docker to streamline deployments and deliver consistent results. I mentor juniors, collaborate with stakeholders, support UAT, and thrive in regulated industries, eCommerce, and Ad Tech where navigating complex environments is key to delivering high-quality software.
