About

QA engineer with 4+ years testing UX/UI for enterprise, data-driven and legacy platforms (including Dell Technologies), partnering closely with developers/product/business through Agile sprints. Experienced validating end-to-end behavior across UI, REST APIs (Postman), and databases (SQL), and automating regression with Selenium Java/TestNG. Notable work includes diagnosing search ranking/pagination issues by correlating UI behavior with API responses and metadata consistency.

Key Strengths

• End-to-end QA across UI, API, and database layers
• Strong defect reporting with clear repro steps and evidence (screenshots/logs/videos/API comparisons)
• Cross-functional collaboration to resolve root-cause disputes via live debugging sessions
• Systematic test planning with RTM-based coverage and risk prioritization
• Automation of stable regression flows using Selenium Java/TestNG with POM
• Deep exploratory testing for edge cases (pagination limits, filter combinations, high-volume datasets, roles/invalid inputs)
• Owned end-to-end automation covering UI visualization and backend/API validation
• Improved coverage by adding pre-evaluation and backend data checks to catch production-impacting issues
• Stabilizes Cypress suites via POM, stable selectors, custom commands, intercept-based waits, and mocking to reduce flakiness
• Integrates automated tests into GitLab CI with headless runs and artifact-based reporting for fast feedback
• Applies risk-based testing and test pyramid to prioritize API/service automation and keep UI tests focused on critical journeys
• Strong defect isolation using multi-layer validation (UI + API + SQL/database) and clear, evidence-backed bug reports
• Proactively influences quality early by clarifying requirements/edge cases and improving testability (data-test attributes, better errors/logging)
