1. Project Name: Jewelry E-commerce Website and Application - India (05/21-08/23).

Tools/Tech: Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, XPath, Maven, Jenkins, Git, Jira, API testing using rest assured

• Analyzed business and functional requirements for the jewelry e-commerce platform, and created detailed test plans, test cases, and traceability matrices covering UI flows, payment gateways, and account management modules.
• Performed comprehensive manual testing, executed functional, regression, smoke, integration, and UAT testing across web and mobile environments, logging and tracking defects in Jira with clear reproduction steps and severity levels.
• Developed robust automation frameworks, built and maintained scalable automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver with Java, TestNG, and Maven. Applied the Page Object Model (POM) and data-driven approaches to streamline automation for product search, cart flows, and checkout operations.
• Executed automated UI and API tests, automated end-to-end web workflows, and backend API validation using REST Assured for order placement and inventory checks. Enhanced test coverage across both front-end and back-end layers.
• Integrated tests into CI/CD pipelines. Incorporated automated suites into Jenkins for nightly regression runs, enabling fast feedback and early defect detection. Maintained Maven job scripts, and integrated Git for version control and collaboration.
• Conducted backend and database validation. Executed SQL queries to validate data integrity in order and payment databases, aligning UI test results with backend data for accuracy in inventory, pricing, and transactions.
• Collaborated in an Agile environment. Participated in Agile ceremonies—daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives—working closely with developers, product owners, and business analysts to ensure aligned delivery and acceptance criteria.
• Enhanced Testing Framework Quality: Implemented best practices for stability and maintainability, improving locator strategies (using XPath), reducing flaky tests, and optimizing execution speed.
• Successfully automated interaction with challenging web elements (e.g., hidden fields, nested frames, and shadow DOM) using relative XPath, axes (following-sibling, ancestor, etc.), and custom attributes.

2. Project Name: Insurance Domain , Policy Lifecycle, Quote-to-Bind, Claims) - US - (09/23 - 06/25)

Tools: Playwright, TypeScript, REST Assured, Postman, Git, Jenkins, GitHub Actions. Techniques: POM, Data-Driven Testing, CI/CD, Cross-Browser Testing, API Validation

• Analyzed insurance domain workflows, including policy lifecycle, quote-to-bind, and claims processing; designed and executed comprehensive manual and automated test strategies using Playwright (TypeScript) and REST Assured for UI and API validation.
• Developed scalable Page Object Model-based frameworks with data-driven testing; integrated them into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, enabling cross-browser testing and seamless test automation delivery.
• Managed project artifacts (test plans, cases, traceability matrices) in Jira, validating policy administration, underwriting, quote generation, claim submissions, and approval flows across UI and backend layers.
• Conducted API validation using REST Assured and Postman, ensuring accurate data exchange and business rule enforcement across binding and claims engines.
• Collaborated in Agile teams to review user stories, participate in sprint ceremonies, and perform defect tracking, triage, and resolutions—maintaining quality compliance in a highly regulated insurance environment.
