• Established testing infrastructure from the ground up; recruited, led, and mentored a team of QA engineers and team leads. Implemented standardized SOPs and processes, resulting in a 25% reduction in development cycle time and significant product quality improvement.
• Designed and implemented a scalable Playwright (JavaScript) automation framework using the Page Object Model (POM) pattern, enabling cross-browser compatibility, multi device support and parallel execution. Developed and integrated test scripts across multiple modules, increasing automation coverage by 70% and accelerating regression testing with a 40% reduction in execution time and improved reliability.
• Integrated automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines leveraging Docker and Kubernetes combines the benefits of containerization and orchestration to automate the process of building, testing, and deploying applications, enabling faster feedback cycles and continuous quality monitoring.
• Drove cross-functional collaboration by aligning QA efforts with product goals, through actionable test plans and stakeholder collaboration. Executed test processes, recorded results, and reported insights for data-driven decisions. Defined test strategies, implemented quality metrics, and drove continuous improvement.
• Leveraged AI-driven tool such as large language model (LLM)-based test case generation and AI-assisted bug triage to improve testing efficiency and accuracy.
• Technologies used: Playwright, JavaScript, Restful APIs, Swagger, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, Chai, Mocha, SQL, JSON, Jira, Confluence, Node.js, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS.
