Senior Software Engineer in Test / QA Automation Engineer

Grab Greco LLP

Jul 2021 - Present

Designed, developed, and maintained scalable automated test suites using Playwright for web platforms, as well as API automation using Rest Assured and Postman, reducing execution times and expanding regression coverage. Leveraged AI-driven solutions and tools like GitHub Copilot to accelerate test script authoring, optimize defect detection, and automatically expand edge-case coverage across complex flows. Executed thorough test case planning, risk-based assessments, and strategy design across both Automation and Manual approaches throughout the entire Software Testing Lifecycle (STLC). Led microservices API validation and integration testing using Rest Assured and Postman, ensuring secure, compliant, and robust handling of high-scale payment gateways and financial transaction workflows. Utilized JIRA for structured test case management, defect logging, and traceability; leveraged JMeter / LoadRunner to perform initial performance and load assessments. Championed 'Shift-Left' QA practices and Test-Driven Development (TDD) by pairing with developers early in the SDLC to catch critical defects prior to code integration. Collaborated closely in cross-functional Agile sprint teams, sharing feedback, establishing clear acceptance criteria, and driving continuous improvement in testing processes. Proactively identified complex corner cases, boundary scenarios, and data validation flaws, effectively preventing production escapes. Mentored junior QA engineers on automated test design using Playwright, API test best practices, and effective defect management.
