With 13+ years of experience as a Principal Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), I specialize in designing and developing scalable, maintainable test automation frameworks for web, mobile, and API-based applications. I use tools like Playwright, Selenium, Appium, and Cypress to create end-to-end test solutions that integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines (or Docker). My expertise in REST Assured allows me to build comprehensive API testing frameworks that ensure smooth integration and high-quality service delivery. My focus on automation has led to improved test coverage, faster execution times, and higher software quality, ensuring more reliable releases with every cycle. I bring strong backend development experience, particularly in Java, Spring Boot, and Rest Assured, where I’ve designed API testing frameworks and optimized test suites for highly scalable, low-latency services. I’m also experienced in cloud technologies, including AWS, and have worked extensively on database testing across SQL based systems. My technical expertise spans both front-end and back-end testing, ensuring smooth integration and performance across the entire software stack, from APIs to databases. Also, have a proven track record of mentoring engineers at all levels and driving a quality-first mindset across teams. By optimizing test coverage and debugging techniques, I help enhance software reliability. Additionally, I design monitoring, alert systems, and runbooks to proactively mitigate issues, ensuring high availability and minimal customer impact.
