I'm a SDET / QE Lead with 10+ years of experience spanning the full Software Development Life Cycle. I design and build enterprise-grade test automation frameworks using Java, Cucumber (BDD), JMeter, and Rest Assured, delivering faster feedback, reduced testing cycle times, and improved test coverage. I have led cross-functional QA teams across onshore and offshore locations, collaborating with vendors and product teams to ensure quality and release readiness. I also specialize in Apigee API gateway validation, CI/CD integration, end-to-end system integration testing in microservice environments, and performance testing. I leverage AI-assisted testing (Claude Code) for test case/script generation and defect triage, and I validate AWS S3 data integrity and security configurations. I thrive in Banking, Insurance, and Life Sciences domains, aligning QA with Agile practices, risk-based testing, and compliance requirements.
