Hi, I’m Parul Puri, a Senior QA Lead specializing in test automation, accessibility testing, and AI-assisted QA. I’ve spent eight years delivering QA across banking, fintech, and e-commerce, with hands-on work in Appium and Cypress, and in mobile testing for iOS and Android. I also lead accessibility testing, covering VoiceOver, TalkBack, keyboard navigation, ADA, and WCAG 2.1 conformance. I’ve championed AI-assisted testing using GitHub Copilot to accelerate script development. I’ve led distributed QA teams, owned end-to-end release planning, and pushed shift-left practices into delivery teams. I introduced Copilot to speed up scripting, and I’ve embedded quality gates in CI/CD with Jenkins. I’m passionate about delivering high-quality software, mentoring teams, and continuously improving processes while maintaining a friendly, collaborative approach.
