  • API & Web Test Automation: Uses JavaScript, Node.js (Playwright, WebdriverIO) for scalable test suites. E.g. Maintained 500+ parallel tests on GitHub Actions (Docker), cutting regression ~10x. Added REST/GraphQL coverage (schema validation, boundary checks) to catch defects early. Crafts cross-browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and API-level tests (Python) for stable releases.
  • CI/CD & Containerization: Builds automatically triggered pipelines with tests. E.g. Configured 5 runners (2 threads each) for 10 concurrent tests, speeding CI drastically. Adds site speed monitoring (Site24x7) and Slack bot alerts for failures/performance dips.
  • Team & Stakeholder Comms: Bridges DevOps, QA, and product owners for better resource allocation. E.g. Mentored 3 manual QA and 2 automation QAs via mock scenarios for shifting priorities. Led "Quality Assurance How To" sessions, earning trust from front-end teams and C-levels.
