Jay Kate — QA Engineer
ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager/Test Management and Agile-certified QA Engineer with 5+ years of experience in manual and automation testing, ensuring high-quality software across web and mobile platforms. With a deep understanding of the software development lifecycle, I specialize in designing, implementing, and executing test strategies that enhance product reliability, security, and user experience. Proficient in web, mobile app testing (Android & iOS), and API automation, I have hands-on experience with tools like Appium, Selenium, and Postman. I have also built and maintained automation frameworks using Maven, TestNG, and POM, integrating them with CI/CD pipelines via Jenkins. My expertise extends to SDET activities, including SQL scripting and automation to bridge gaps in end-to-end testing, as well as debugging and mocking API responses using DevTools and Charles Proxy to cover edge cases. Having worked across multiple domains—including FinTech, E-learning, US General Insurance, Project Management, and Affiliation Systems—I have ensured the quality of key modules such as Onboarding, Equity, Mutual Funds, Payments, and Subscription. I actively collaborate with developers, product managers, and UI/UX teams to identify potential gaps early in the product lifecycle, ensuring smooth development. My role also involves analyzing Figma designs, reviewing user stories, and performing static testing to prevent delays. I have mentored QA team members and have been actively involved in setting up automation frameworks and conducting knowledge transfer (KT) sessions to ensure seamless adoption across teams. Whether it's conducting software testing or delivering product demos to stakeholders, my focus remains on delivering exceptional software quality.
