Work Experience

Senior Test Engineer

AQM Technologies

Apr 2025 - Present

Led end-to-end regression and sanity testing for desktop-based financial trading applications in a production-critical capital markets environment serving institutional clients. Designed structured regression test suites covering order processing, trade workflows, data accuracy, and system stability - improving test repeatability and release predictability. Strengthened defect triage and release validation processes, resulting in zero critical defects reaching production across all releases during tenure. Independently initiated development of a Python + Playwright POM framework using pytest and BDD with Cucumber to automate regression coverage, going beyond the scope of the role to bring automation capability to a manual-testing team.

Engineer I

Apexon (Adapty Solutions Pvt. Ltd.)

Feb 2022 - Feb 2025

Built and maintained a Python + Playwright automation suite with POM architecture, pytest, and BDD using Cucumber, version-controlled via Git, automating 100+ end-to-end test cases across login, cart, checkout, and order management workflows on Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Performed API testing using Postman across 10+ REST microservice endpoints, validating request/response contracts, authentication, and data integrity during platform migration from Oracle ATG to commercetools. Executed SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases to validate backend data integrity and investigate data discrepancies, ensuring consistency between the UI, API, and database layers. Configured Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to trigger automated regression runs on every build deployment, and used Kubernetes (kubectl) and AWS environments to monitor service health before test execution. Tested microservices-based components on commercetools, validating service-to-service communication, API integrations, and data consistency across distributed services. Collaborated with developers, product owners, and QA leads in Agile sprints - contributing to sprint planning, defect triage, and release sign-off.
