Baala Murugan — QA Manager

I am currently working as a Lead QA Engineer at Razorpay, a fast-scaling fintech platform, where I lead test automation strategy across web, mobile, and API layers. My focus lies in building reliable, scalable automation frameworks and aligning quality engineering with continuous delivery. I’ve helped reduce regression time by up to 95% and significantly improved release confidence across products. Over the years, I have specialized in modern test automation tools and frameworks including Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, and Rest Assured, while working primarily with Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript. I have hands-on experience integrating automation pipelines with GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS, and have worked extensively with Postman, Jenkins, and various CI/CD ecosystems. My skills span from building hybrid frameworks to scaling distributed test execution and integrating smart defect detection logic. Across my career, I’ve been known for fast problem-solving, mentoring junior SDETs, and collaborating across functions to deliver high-quality features under tight deadlines. With a German Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card), I am now looking forward to my next challenge where I can contribute with my automation expertise and adaptability in global tech teams.
