About

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience strengthening product quality, scaling test processes, and ensuring reliable releases across E-commerce, Hyperlocal Delivery, and Fintech/Payments domains. At Zepto, I work closely with engineering and product teams to define end-to-end test strategies, establish meaningful quality metrics, and drive risk-based planning that supports fast, high-impact releases.I bring hands-on expertise across web, mobile, API, and backend testing, with strong automation capabilities. My experience includes API automation using TestNG and Java, as well as web automation using Playwright with TypeScript and the Page Object Model for scalable, maintainable test suites. I also work with tools like Charles Proxy, Postman, SQL, Jira, Katalon, and GenAI-driven frameworks to optimize test efficiency.My focus is on improving test coverage, reducing defect leakage, and building predictable, efficient QA workflows that help teams ship with confidence. I believe quality is a shared responsibility—but as QA, I lead by making it measurable, visible, and continuously improving across the product lifecycle
