I am a seasoned Quality Automation Engineer / SDET with over 10 years of experience ensuring high-quality software delivery across web, API, and mobile applications. I specialize in building robust automation frameworks using JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, NextJS, and TailwindCSS, and leveraging modern tools like Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber, and Appium for comprehensive testing. A key focus of my work is component-driven testing with Storybook. By integrating Storybook AI, I automate UI validation, accelerate regression coverage, and ensure consistent design system implementation across applications. I combine this with AI-assisted testing and modern CI/CD integration (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps) to deliver fast, reliable feedback in Agile environments. My expertise spans white box and black box testing, functional, regression, system, and user acceptance testing, with experience across Banking, Finance, Retail, and Healthcare domains. I excel at collaborating with offshore teams, product owners, and developers, driving innovation in QA practices, and leveraging JavaScript-based automation to streamline workflows, validate backend data, and ensure cross-browser and mobile quality. I am passionate about exploring how AI and automation together can transform software testing, making processes smarter, faster, and more reliable.
