Highlights:One of my career highlights is the successful development and implementation of a scalable automation framework that significantly reduced testing time and improved the overall efficiency of the CI/CD pipeline. This framework was adopted across multiple projects, leading to a substantial increase in product quality and a decrease in time-to-market. Additionally, I played a key role in mentoring team members, which contributed to the team's growth and the delivery of high-quality software solutions in various domains like Banking, finance, e-commerce, healthcare, and retail.

Skills:

Goal:My career goal is to advance in the field of automation testing and quality assurance, building on my extensive experience as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET). I aim to specialize further in developing sophisticated automation frameworks, enhancing CI/CD pipelines, and driving software quality in diverse industries. I aspire to take on senior or leadership roles, mentor emerging testers, and contribute to the innovation of testing practices within forward-thinking organizations.
