Who I Am

QA Engineer who builds test systems that actually prevent production failures.

I'm a QA Analyst with 3+ years of experience designing and scaling test frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, and Python. Currently at Studium Tech, where I own the end-to-end automation strategy across web UI and REST API layers in fast-paced Agile sprints.

My focus is on writing tests that genuinely prevent production failures — not just inflate coverage numbers. 400+ test cases, 30% regression reduction, and zero critical defects shipped to production. I also integrate AI-assisted QA techniques to sharpen test generation and defect analysis.

  • Open to Opportunities

    Seeking QA Automation / SDET roles in product-driven companies — remote or Pune/Mumbai.

  • AI-Assisted QA

    Leveraging AI tools to accelerate test case design, smart locators, and failure analysis.

  • CI/CD Integration

    GitHub Actions pipelines that run the full regression suite on every pull request.

My Approach

01

Shift-Left Testing

Catch bugs early by embedding QA from the first sprint. I collaborate with devs during requirements review, not after code freeze.

02

Automate at Scale

Build maintainable frameworks with Page Object Model, fixtures, and data-driven patterns — designed for teams, not throwaway scripts.

03

Zero-Defect Mindset

Every test targets a real failure mode. Coverage without intent is noise. Quality is a standard, not a metric to game.

More Than Just a Tester

I bring together automation craft, creative thinking, and a passion for quality - across code, tools.

🧪

QA Engineer

Building robust test strategies that catch bugs before users do. Quality is not a phase — it's a mindset.
