QA Automation Lead

  • Re-architected CI/CD test execution pipeline, leveraging a 4-job matrix workflow and Playwright's sharding to parallelize E2E and API tests. This initiative reduced full test suite runtime by 33% (from 15 min to 10 min), significantly accelerating CI feedback cycles.
  • Reduced API test suite runtime by 87% (4 min to 30 sec) in 1 month by removing the Playwright browser dependency & extending Playwright to provide a better DX for test development & debugging.
  • Built a custom Slack reporter leveraging Playwright's Reporter class, TypeScript, and Redis to consolidate data from matrix CI runs, providing the team and management fast feedback and unprecedented visibility on all test failures.
  • Leveraged Cursor AI to scale API and unit test suites, build a Slack reporter for E2E/API tests, fix API bugs during test development, and generate framework documentation and starter test plans from code diffs, enabling faster test planning, knowledge sharing, and more efficient QA execution.
  • Drove a 40% increase in E2E Playwright (TypeScript) test coverage within 6 months through close collaboration with development teams, which significantly reduced regression testing efforts and boosted developer confidence in deployments.
  • Responsible for PR Reviews, the top-performing product on the Magnus security platform, by building and maintaining a Jest test suite for its web app while navigating the complexity of GitHub integration and constraints around end-to-end and API testing – also developed its product landing page in collaboration with the Product & Marketing teams
