Remote
Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and reusable automated test scripts and frameworks using Java and Selenium WebDriver for comprehensive web application testing.
Pioneer API testing strategies using industry-standard tools (e.g., Postman, Rest-Assured) to validate backend functionality and data contracts.
Instrument and manage the end-to-end automation lifecycle, from test planning and scenario creation to execution, reporting, and maintenance.
Architect and implement cloud-based test execution environments leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services to run parallel test suites, ensuring high availability and cost-efficiency.
Develop, integrate, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated testing upon code check-in, driving a culture of continuous quality.
Champion shift-left testing practices by closely partnering with development teams to define testability requirements, perform unit/integration testing support, and provide early feedback.
Develop and execute complex, end-to-end test scenarios to assess functional correctness, performance stress conditions, and regression stability.
Lead the coordination of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with business stakeholders, effectively translating functional specifications into validated product features.
Designed and executed automated and manual tests for an FCC government auction system, ensuring regulatory compliance and system stability.
Perform comprehensive regression testing following bug resolutions to guarantee system stability and prevent unintended side effects.
Pittsburgh, PA
Established regular communication channels between onsite and offshore team members, ensuring seamless coordination despite geographical barriers.
Mentored junior QA engineers in best practices for automation, framework design, and writing maintainable, high-quality test code.
Acted as a technical advisor to development teams, offering expert consultation on issues related to database architecture, application performance, and general system stability.
Actively supported Agile methodologies by participating in all sprint ceremonies (stand-ups, planning, retrospectives) to align testing efforts with development priorities.
Created and maintained detailed documentation for test strategies, procedures, and results analysis, promoting transparency and knowledge sharing across the engineering organization.
Architected and implemented robust test automation frameworks from the ground up, utilizing Java and Selenium/Playwright , targeting high-impact manual testing areas for optimization.
Developed and maintained scalable test scripts for comprehensive regression, functional, and user interface (UI) testing across multiple product iterations.
Engineered solutions to integrate customer-reported issues directly into the automated test suite, proactively enhancing coverage and preventing recurrence (Defect Prevention).
Drove toolchain modernization by evaluating, integrating, and maintaining advanced automation tools (e.g., reporting dashboards, test management systems) to increase QA team efficiency by 40%
Lead team in testing health domain transition from .Net to Java environment by performing Manual testing end to end as well as developing automation scripts for new environment.
Elmsford, NY
Collaborated cross-functionally with Product Management, Engineering, and Go-to-Market teams to clarify technical specifications and integrate testing considerations from initial requirements analysis through final release (Shift-Left).
Analyzed and debugged complex test failures, partnering with Development to isolate root causes and drive timely resolution, minimizing pipeline bottlenecks.
Generated and maintained comprehensive documentation for test plans, reusable test cases, and data-driven automated test results, fostering transparency and institutional knowledge.
Streamlined bug reporting and tracking processes, resulting in faster resolution times.
2015 — 2016
Tarrytown NY
Elevated production stability by designing and executing highly effective Smoke Tests integrated into the pre-deployment pipeline, consistently identifying critical blockers and reducing potential production environment risks.
Proactively uncovered high-severity defects by strategically executing Manual Exploratory Testing to target areas of high risk and complexity, complementing scripted automation coverage.
Leveraged technical expertise (e.g., system logs, monitoring tools) during defect analysis to accelerate root cause identification of critical issues found during early-stage testing.
Translated complex business requirements documents (BRDs) and functional specifications into meticulously detailed test cases and acceptance criteria, ensuring comprehensive coverage and traceability across all functionalities.
Championed Quality Governance by ensuring all testing artifacts (test plans, cases, results) adhered to regulatory/internal standards before project release.
