Profile

Summary

An automation and aviation testing professional with over 5 years of experience, I have worked across multiple programming languages and testing tools. Unit testing is my specialization. I have experience with C++, Java, Python, and Selenium based web and mobile application testing.

I have also worked with a startup with their test strategy creation and execution. I was involved in performing REST based API testing, selenium automated testing for a RoI/price calculator workflow.

During my tenure, I have been involved in developing test procedures, coding test scripts, preparing test strategy, executing and troubleshooting test scripts and reporting test results.

I also have working knowledge of WebPageTest. I am currently undergoing a training on Java, Selenium, TestNg and Jenkins from Udemy.

I am looking forward to work for an organization where I can leverage my experience for web based or mobile based applications.

Experience

Senior QA Engineer, 2013-2014

(Startup)

Bangalore, India

This idea for this startup was to develop application for monitoring deployments in a cloud environment. The objective of the product was to develop a web-based portal that could help customers to define their network needs, choose the right kind of hardware and storage components. The system was also envisioned to talk to different cloud providers to provision the network as designed by customers. Essentially, it was designed to take away the pain for Network teams by enabling a cloud based infrastructure creation, deployment and monitoring.

I was working with this firm before our move to the US.
