Available to hire
Hi, I’m Manasi Joshi, a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 10+ years of experience across Banking & Financial Services, Mortgage, Healthcare, Insurance, and Automotive domains. I design scalable automation frameworks from scratch using Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, and Cucumber (BDD), and I integrate them into CI/CD pipelines to deliver reliable releases. I enjoy collaborating with product and development teams to raise quality while keeping maintenance lean and releases on track.
In my work, I balance strong test design with practical maintenance strategies like self-healing locators, visual regression with Applitools, and API validation. I thrive in Agile/SAFe environments and mentor junior QA engineers to improve code quality, test coverage, and release stability.
