Hi, I’m Manju Vaitheeswaran, a Quality Assurance Manager and Automation Leader with 15+ years of experience delivering high-quality, safety-critical software across finance, e-commerce, and media. I excel at building scalable automation frameworks (Playwright, XCUI, Selenium-Cucumber), leading cross-functional QA teams, and driving end-to-end verification in regulated environments. I am adept at reducing risk, improving stability, and influencing stakeholders at all levels. Currently, I lead test architecture and automation initiatives at ENSEK, while mentoring offshore teams and collaborating with product and SDETs to raise release quality. Previously I led QA efforts at ANZ, Amazon Prime Video iOS, and other roles, delivering substantial improvements in automation stability and regression efficiency.
