I am a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 12+ years of experience designing and implementing scalable automation and validation solutions across Banking, FinTech, and Healthcare domains. I build maintainable Selenium WebDriver automation frameworks using Java, TestNG, JUnit, and Cucumber BDD, perform API testing with RestAssured, and integrate regression suites into GitLab and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. I have a strong track record supporting UAT validation, business workflow testing, and regulatory-aligned releases. I’m skilled in test management with Jira, Confluence, Xray, and TestRail, and I pride myself on improving regression coverage, accelerating release cycles, and strengthening cross-team collaboration in Agile environments. In my roles, I’ve designed scalable automation architectures, led regression initiatives, and partnered with product owners and stakeholders to ensure release readiness. I enjoy applying exploratory testing to validate real-world workflows and contribute to robust, maintainable test frameworks that stand up to changing regulatory demands.
