Engineering Lead
5 Years 10 Months- I work in the Test Engineering team in Arcesium. Managed the testing effort, including functional and automated testing of applications for post-trade operations such as general ledger, management company accounting, and tax. Heading a team of 5. Along with management, I do a variety oftests, including functional, performance and security tests using a combination of manual and automated testing. I have experience with the well-known tools likeSelenium, Cypress, Katalon, Python, Java and JavaScript as well in-house proprietary test automation frameworks like Njexl and Chaitin for test case automation.
- Enhanced testing efficiency through automation of Sanity Suite for API and UI components.
- Automated testing of python reports with pytest testing framework and increasing code coverage. I have also contributed to a json comparator that compares the data pre and post anew release. The comparisons done for the json response to any service call and all the differences found are reported either as a json or in a file (as per the requirement).
- Performance testing for different performance parameters using Apache JMeter.
- Create test cases and performed testes for Sprint, Regression, POST (Power on self-test. This test helps assure basic sanity of the platform is in place), UAT (User Acceptance test) and LCT (Live confidence test)
- Triaged and tracked defects in Jira, facilitating effective communication with developers for timely resolution.
- Guided new employees through the onboarding process and supported their professional development.
Software Engineer
5 Months- I was part of a Transportation and Logistics team that caters to the Transportation ManagementSoftware market. As part of my learning, I have learnt ABAP, BOPF (Backend), FPM (UI frontend).
- Created design documents and developed new requirements for software enhancements.
- Resolved messages and bugs to improve system stability and user experience.
