## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ IpserLab
Jan 2025 – Present | Albany, New York, United States
• Took ownership of functional and system-level testing for a Java Spring Boot microservices platform powering a dual-user interactive
web application, ensuring reliability across multiple service integrations and backend processing layers.
• Designed and executed comprehensive test scenarios covering end-to-end application workflows including authentication services,
business logic validation, data processing pipelines, and service orchestration across distributed components.
• Led web service testing initiatives by validating SOAP and REST APIs using SOAP UI, constructing custom request payloads and
validating XML and JSON responses to ensure accurate service behavior and contract compliance.
• Performed deep backend validation using SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases to verify business rule execution, data transfor-
mations, and transaction integrity across production and staging environments.
• Conducted integration testing across frontend interfaces and backend services, ensuring correct communication between React-based
UI components and Java microservices.
• Investigated complex system defects by analyzing application logs, tracing API interactions, and validating backend data states,
enabling rapid identification and resolution of production-impacting issues.
• Partnered closely with backend engineers to reproduce defects, isolate root causes within service layers, and verify system fixes
across multiple deployment environments.
• Executed regression testing during release cycles to ensure newly delivered functionality maintained compatibility with existing
application workflows and business processes.
• Validated system behavior following production deployments by verifying API responses, backend database states, and overall service
health across the platform.
• Contributed to Agile sprint cycles including requirement reviews, test planning, execution tracking, and release validation to ensure
high-quality software delivery.

### IT Services - Quality Assurance Analyst @ Northeastern University
Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Boston, MA
• Provided Quality Assurance support for enterprise university IT systems, identifying defects and resolving technical issues impacting
critical business platforms.
• Performed endpoint validation and troubleshooting for Java-based services supporting asset management systems, authentication
services, and enterprise SaaS platforms.
• Investigated API and service-level issues affecting system functionality by analyzing request responses, logs, and backend database
states.
• Diagnosed application issues related to SQL database-backed services, validating data integrity and identifying inconsistencies
affecting system behavior.
• Documented recurring defects and operational issues in centralized knowledge bases, reducing repetitive troubleshooting efforts and
improving response efficiency.
• Collaborated with cross-functional escalation teams including infrastructure, application development, and security groups to coor-
dinate root cause analysis and issue resolution.
• Managed multiple high-priority incidents simultaneously while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders through Slack
and Microsoft Teams.
• Produced structured technical documentation outlining defect reproduction steps, system behavior observations, and recommended
resolutions.

### Software Engineer Intern @ IpserLab
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Albany, New York, United States
• Supported testing and validation efforts for Java-based backend services supporting a real-time web platform, ensuring service
reliability and accurate data handling across application modules.
• Executed functional test scenarios across user-facing workflows and backend service integrations to verify correct implementation
of business requirements.
• Performed web service testing of REST endpoints by constructing request payloads, validating response structures, and ensuring
correct execution of backend service logic.
• Conducted SQL-based backend data verification to confirm accuracy of application transactions and database operations within
PostgreSQL environments.
• Assisted in identifying and documenting defects during testing cycles by analyzing system behavior, API responses, and backend
data inconsistencies.
• Collaborated with development teams to reproduce application issues and validate bug fixes prior to release deployments.
• Supported regression testing efforts to verify stability of previously released functionality across evolving application builds.

### Junior Software Developer @ Birlasoft
Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Pune District
