About

I am a QA/SDET professional with 10 years of experience building scalable automation frameworks and leading quality engineering initiatives, primarily within payment gateway and fintech systems across global markets. I specialize in Functional Testing, Test Automation Architecture, API testing, Mobile automation, and Agile QA leadership, with strong hands-on expertise in Selenium, Java, TestNG, Cucumber, Cypress, JavaScript, Appium, Jenkins, and AWS (CodePipeline/CodeBuild). I’ve designed end-to-end automation for complex payment flows—authorizations, refunds, settlements, 3DS, MOTO, routing, and failure scenarios—ensuring reliability and high transaction accuracy. I also bring experience in team setup, process definition, CI/CD integration, API frameworks, and distributed load testing. I’m passionate about improving QA processes, delivering robust payment experiences, and driving engineering teams toward high-quality, on-time releases. Always open to connecting with professionals in the payments, automation, and engineering leadership space.
