About

I am a Software Test Engineer with 3 years of experience in Quality Engineering, UI/API Automation Testing, and Agile delivery environments. Most recently at Trigent Software Pvt. Ltd, I have been working since 2023, building scalable automation solutions that improve software reliability and accelerate release cycles. My work spans Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, Rest Assured, Java, and CI/CD-integrated automation frameworks. I have developed and enhanced automation frameworks using Page Object Model (POM), TestNG, and Cucumber BDD, built API automation suites, and integrated automated test execution with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. I also have experience with SQL database testing, defect lifecycle management, and AI-assisted testing tools.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote QA Automation / SDET opportunities with 2-3 years of experience where I can work with Java, Selenium, Playwright, API testing, and test automation frameworks. I’m also interested in growing into AI/GenAI testing roles and working on modern, automation-focused projects.
