Hi, I’m Shravya Samudrala, a Senior Backend SDET who thrives on building robust automation for scalable backend and API validation. I specialize in Python-based automation using PyTest, Selenium UI suites, and data-driven testing, and I integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Git. I excel at API testing, SQL-backed data validation, and end-to-end service workflows, while collaborating closely with product and engineering in Agile environments. I enjoy mentoring QA teams, driving QA process improvements, and delivering high-quality software in fast-paced settings. I bring a solid AWS awareness to test cloud-based systems and a proactive mindset to identify high-impact bugs and improve test coverage.
