About

QA Lead with 10+ years of experience in building and scaling test automation for SaaS platforms. I specialize in Cypress-based automation, API testing, and CI/CD integration, with a strong focus on improving release quality and reducing time-to-market. I actively leverage AI in QA by using tools like ChatGPT and building MCP-based agents to automate test case generation, analyze failures, and assist in debugging. These agents help reduce manual effort, speed up test creation, and improve defect identification in fast-paced environments. I have led QA initiatives across web and mobile applications, built automation frameworks from scratch, and enabled parallel execution to significantly reduce regression cycles. My work has helped reduce production defects, improve test coverage, and ensure reliable releases. 🔹 Expertise: Cypress, Playwright, API Testing, Cucumber (BDD), CI/CD, JavaScript 🔹 Strengths: Test Strategy, Automation Architecture, SaaS Testing, AI-assisted QA, MCP Agents, Team Leadership Currently exploring opportunities in QA Leadership / SDET roles. Open to impactful roles where I can drive quality at scale.
