About

I’m a dedicated Software QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience ensuring the quality, performance, and security of complex financial applications, including trading platforms, payment gateways, and investment systems. I bring a balanced approach to manual and automation testing, with hands-on expertise in Selenium, Postman, TestNG, JIRA, and a solid foundation in Java, SQL, and REST API testing. Specializing in financial domain testing, I’ve worked extensively with Futures & Options (F&O) and platforms like TradeStation, focusing on delivering secure, compliant, and high-performance applications. I thrive in Agile teams, collaborating with developers, BAs, and stakeholders to define test strategies, write effective test cases, and contribute to continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Whether it’s regression, API, performance, or end-to-end testing, I aim to drive quality across the SDLC, reduce risk, and ensure seamless user experiences. I’m always open to new challenges and passionate about improving systems that make financial transactions smarter and safer. 📫 Let’s connect if you’re hiring for a QA role or looking to strengthen your software quality processes!

Worked on the TradeStation project, a comprehensive and advanced trading platform designed for both retail and professional investors. My role focused on ensuring the quality and reliability of core trading modules such as Order Form, Order Book, Positions, Option Chain, and Portfolio. I was responsible for designing, implementing, and executing detailed test cases for key features including Basket Orders, Margin Trading Fund, Position Grouping, VTT (Valid Till Trigger) Orders, Cover Orders, Bracket Orders, Trading Strategies, and Bulk Orders. I collaborated closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to gain a thorough understanding of feature requirements and ensure seamless delivery. A key part of my responsibilities involved validating the integration and accuracy of data flow between critical modules, particularly between the Order Form and Order Book. Additionally, I verified portfolio management features such as position tracking, risk analysis, and performance monitoring to support robust and reliable user experiences. My contributions played a key role in maintaining product stability and ensuring successful feature rollouts.
