About

Quality isn’t tested at the end — it’s built from the start.” That’s the philosophy I bring as a QA Automation Engineer with over 3 years of experience driving software quality across healthcare and insurance domains. I specialize in automation, API testing, and performance validation, leveraging tools like Java, Selenium, Cucumber, TestNG, Postman, JMeter, MongoDB, and Azure DevOps. Throughout my career at Cognizant, I’ve built automation frameworks that improved testing speed by up to 40% and reduced manual effort significantly. From validating 200+ HL7 FHIR-compliant APIs to optimizing CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, I’ve consistently focused on delivering high-quality, scalable, and efficient test solutions. I take pride in being both detail-oriented and business-focused — ensuring every test adds measurable value to the product and the customer experience. My exposure to AWS S3 bucket validation, MongoDB data lineage testing, and end-to-end automation frameworks reflects my ability to bridge the gap between manual precision and automation excellence. As I continue evolving in the QA space, my goal is to lead robust automation initiatives, integrate AI-driven testing approaches, and contribute to building resilient digital ecosystems. 🚀 Let’s connect if you’re passionate about quality, automation, or transforming testing processes into strategic assets that drive business impact.

As part of the Wellmark healthcare project, I validated over 200+ API endpoints ensuring HL7 FHIR compliance and authentication integrity. By automating API validation using JMeter and Rest Assured, I improved test efficiency by 30% and reduced regression cycle time by 25%. I implemented data validation scripts for MongoDB achieving 99.9% data accuracy across multiple environments. Additionally, I optimized Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, reducing deployment testing delays by 15%. Collaborating cross-functionally, I performed Source-to-Target (S2T) data validations and successfully prevented multiple production defects. My contributions to AWS S3 file validations further strengthened data reliability within the Smart Adapter module.
