About

With a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, I have built my career across functional, API, and automation testing roles at Cognizant and Gainsight before moving into product-focused quality engineering. At Cognizant, I gained strong fundamentals in functional and integration testing, while at Gainsight, I expanded into API and automation, contributing to more scalable testing practices. Currently at Games24x7 as an SDET-1, I specialize in backend and payment systems testing, where I contributed to a major Payment Gateway Revamp and led automation for wallet functionalities in a new product launch. My work emphasizes designing maintainable frameworks, strengthening early testing practices, and collaborating across teams to ensure resilient and scalable systems. Driven by a passion for solving complex quality challenges, I focus on building test automation solutions that reduce release cycle times, improve test coverage, and enhance overall product stability.
