Work Experience

SDET / QA Automation Engineer & AI Documentation Specialist

Shipsy

Apr 2025 - Jul 2026

Architected and maintained end-to-end automated test suites using Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript) with Page Object Model (POM); embedded into CI/CD pipelines, reducing regression cycle time by 60% and cutting release validation time by 3 hours per sprint. Engineered comprehensive API automation frameworks using Postman, Cucumber BDD (Gherkin), and Python (requests/pytest), covering authentication flows, payload validation, HTTP status-code assertions, response structure auditing, service-level contract enforcement, and edge-case scenarios across 15+ microservice endpoints. Designed and executed Python-based load testing scripts for mobile APK performance validation, simulating 200+ concurrent user scenarios and measuring app stability under stress — identifying 4 critical bottlenecks pre-release. Executed cross-platform mobile testing using Appium on Android and iOS, validating UI flows, device-specific behavior, and regression scenarios across 8+ OS versions. Leveraged ADB (Android Debug Bridge) commands to support mobile test automation — capturing device logs (logcat) for defect triage, scripting app install/uninstall and reset flows, extracting UI hierarchy dumps (uiautomator) to stabilize Appium locators, and monitoring memory/CPU performance (dumpsys) during load and stability testing. Performed REST API validation including request/response payload integrity checks, interface compliance testing, and integration testing against microservices-based logistics backends, covering 95%+ of critical API surface area. Authored test plans, test cases, and requirement traceability matrices (RTM); triaged 50+ defects in JIRA with reproduction steps, severity classification, and root-cause analysis within Agile sprints. Formulated structured test scenarios to evaluate LLM response quality and chatbot output accuracy — assessing hallucination rate, relevance, and edge-case behavior for AI-powered product features across 3 product verticals. Leveraged AI tools, including Blinqio and Drizz, to auto-generate test cases from requirements, reducing manual test design effort by 30–40% per sprint cycle; championed shift-left testing practices with development teams.

Backend Developer Intern

Head Run

Dec 2024 - Apr 2025

Constructed and deployed RESTful API endpoints using Django and Flask with JWT-based authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and CRUD operations backed by PostgreSQL and SQLite — serving 500+ active users. Launched responsive WordPress websites with custom plugins, structured data markup, and on-page SEO optimizations; resolved 20+ backend issues and improved page load performance by 35%.
