About

I am a dedicated Software Test Engineer with over 5+ years of experience in Manual and Automation Testing, working across domains like Banking, Payments, E-commerce, and Telecom. My core strengths include Functional Testing, Regression Testing, and Backend Testing using SQL. I specialize in automation testing using Selenium WebDriver with Java, and I’m well-versed with frameworks like TestNG, Maven, POM, and BDD using Cucumber. I’ve also worked extensively with tools such as JIRA, HP ALM, Azure DevOps, and Postman, contributing to high-quality, bug-free releases in Agile environments. Holding an MBA with a specialization in Finance and Marketing from Vikrama Simhapuri University, I bring a unique mix of technical proficiency and business insight. I take pride in meticulous test planning, root cause analysis, and continuous collaboration with development and business teams to ensure product quality. Currently, I’m exploring new opportunities where I can contribute my skills and grow in a dynamic team environment.
