Work Experience

Quality Analyst

Xerox

May 2023 - Nov 2024

Executed end-to-end functional, regression, UAT, and smoke testing for enterprise-scale software applications across multiple release cycles. Identified, documented, and tracked 200+ defects with meticulous reproduction steps and severity classifications — directly reducing post-release production incidents. Used SQL queries to validate data accuracy — verifying that application outputs correctly reflected backend database state across test cycles. Collaborated with development and BA teams to review requirements, clarify test scope, and ensure quality standards aligned with business expectations before release. Standardized test reporting and QA documentation processes, improving stakeholder visibility into testing progress and release readiness.

QA Automation Engineer

Santa Browser (Digital Space)

Mar 2025 - Present

Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for web and mobile applications using Playwright, Selenium, and Appium (Python, POM architecture) — ensuring scalable, reusable, and low-maintenance test coverage. Reduced test flakiness by 40% by migrating legacy web suites to Playwright, leveraging auto-waiting, network interception, and smart selector strategies. Built an iOS automation framework from scratch using Appium and Xcode for real-device testing — covering navigation, gestures, and edge-case app behaviour on the Santa Browser iOS app. Perform comprehensive functional, regression, exploratory, and performance observation testing across web and mobile platforms — verifying software against specifications before each release. Conduct API and network-level testing using Postman and Charles Proxy — validating REST endpoint behaviour, data integrity, and integration correctness across service layers. Collaborate with developers and QA team in agile sprint cycles — contributing to requirement reviews, test strategy design, and defect triage to ensure release quality. Manage end-to-end defect lifecycle in JIRA — logging with detailed reproduction steps, tracking resolution, and verifying fixes — maintaining 100% P1/P2 closure rate within sprints. Prepare test execution reports and quality summaries providing stakeholders with clear visibility into coverage, defect trends, and release readiness.
