Environment: Pega Platform, REST APIs, Azure DevOps, CI/CD

• Architect, implement, and maintain robust, reusable automation frameworks using Java, Rest Assured, Postman, and BDD Cucumber to accelerate test execution and maintain scalability.
• Integrate automation frameworks into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps), enabling continuous validation, faster release cycles, and improved deployment confidence.
• Led shift-left quality initiatives, performing early API and contract validations to proactively detect defects and reduce downstream risks.
• Own end-to-end quality engineering across 6+ complex broker-driven loan origination workflows, ensuring functional accuracy, regulatory compliance, and seamless user experience.
• Establish and enforce Git branching and version control strategies for 10+ concurrent feature branches, enabling parallel development with minimal conflicts.

Key Achievements:

• Engineered and automated 65+ high-value API test cases across 6+ loan origination workflows, reducing sprint-level manual testing effort by ~40%.
• Automated 3 critical Document Management APIs (POST, GET, PUT), eliminating 80% of repetitive manual validations and accelerating regression cycles.
• Improved release confidence by ~45% through seamless CI/CD integration and continuous validation practices.
• Led a QA team of 3 engineers, delivering high-quality releases ahead of schedule and maintaining zero critical production defects.
• Reduced production defect leakage by 30–40% and strengthened regression efficiency through optimized CI/CD validation protocols.

• Environment: Selenium WebDriver, BDD Cucumber, REST APIs, OSS/BSS Systems
• Executed end-to-end functional, regression, and system testing for 8+ OSS/BSS telecom modules, ensuring seamless operations across multiple releases and improving release efficiency by ~40%.
• Designed and executed 70+ regression test cases across 5 telecom modules, achieving 90% automated coverage and cutting regression cycle time by ~35%, enabling faster sprint sign-offs.
• Developed automation solutions with Selenium WebDriver and BDD Cucumber, increased automation coverage by ~25%, improved repeatability, reduced manual effort.
• Optimized API testing for backend services using Postman and Rest Assured, accelerating test execution and improving sprint efficiency.
• Enhanced CI/CD validation processes for Agile Scrum teams, identified integration defects, stabilized releases, and contributed to scalable automation frameworks.
• Performed backend validation using SQL queries and utilized NoSQL databases like MongoDB for data verification.
