About

Helping Professionals to Get Job and Senior Quality Assurance - SDET with 11 years of experience working in the Insurance, Capital Market, and Banking domains with Manual as well as Automation testing skills. I have expertise working on Agile methodology, automating multiple projects using Cypress, Selenium, and Rest Assured API, leading the team of quality assurance, providing demos to clients, and having zero escaped bugs with effective test coverage. This has helped all the companies to reduce risks, and costs and increase efficiency. Awarded 7 times by the client as well as the team for my performance. Achieved a perfect score of 100 out of 100 in clearing NCFM certifications for both Equity Derivatives and Interest Rate Derivatives. Based on my experience, I observed that the developers and testers don't have much functional knowledge of the product and they end up building a product based on technical expertise and not based on client practical usage. Furthermore, testers with only manual testing skills will not help the company to speed up the testing process and release the product to the client within aggressive deadlines. Therefore, my expertise has consistently proven instrumental in mitigating risks, optimizing costs, and enhancing operational efficiency for organizations. I am really passionate about client success in producing high-quality products and services to make the end-users experience a transformation. Awards:- - Earned recognition from PM and Dev manager for my intellectually rigorous framework in working on .complex and interdependent projects and launching the experiment without any bugs. - Applauded by the Director and QA manager for my thorough testing of frontend and service calls and for reducing the risk of a very complex launch. - Received appreciation from my team while working on the Family Office application. - Won Stellar award for outstanding performance and excellence while working for Market Data Solutions and Risk Master project. - Earned Rising Star award for consistent performance while working on a Central data repository project. - Won Pat on the Back award from the client for good performance while working on the Credit Default swap project. - Awarded Star of the Month twice by the Managers while working on the Payment Service hub project.
