• Built and enhanced Playwright automation frameworks in Java, implementing reusable fixtures and modular architecture that reduced regression execution time from 4 hours to 35 minutes while achieving 90%+ automation coverage across critical business workflows.

• Designed, developed, and maintained scalable automation frameworks using Java, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, and Page Object Model (POM), improving regression efficiency and long-term framework maintainability.

• Conducted exploratory testing across multiple release cycles to uncover edge cases, usability issues, and unexpected system behavior beyond documented requirements, surfacing around 20 defects missed by scripted suites.

• Investigated customer-reported issues by reproducing defects across 3 environments, analyzing application behavior, and collaborating with engineering to validate fixes — cutting average defect turnaround from 30 to 10.

• Validated 50+ end-to-end business workflows and customer journeys across enterprise insurance applications, ensuring business-rule accuracy and catching 15 critical issues pre-release.

• Executed REST API testing across 10+ endpoints using Postman and Newman, validating request/response payloads, authentication, error handling, and response codes to reduce API-related production defects.

• Verified backend database integrity via SQL across MySQL, verifying data integrity and consistency between frontend applications, APIs, and databases across multiple queries per release.

• Integrated UI and API automation suites into GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated regression execution and quality gates on 2 builds per week.

• Authored reproducible bug reports with detailed reproduction steps, logs, screenshots, and impact analysis, supporting a 80% first-time-fix rate from engineering teams.

• Built reusable page objects, utility classes, and test data management components, reducing new test script development time by 30%.

• Used Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT to accelerate automation development, test design, and defect investigation — validating all AI-generated output through testing and engineering review.

• Mentored 10 QA team members on automation best practices, reviewed pull requests, and drove framework adoption through knowledge-sharing sessions.

• Applied working knowledge of Linux command line for log analysis, file management, process monitoring, and application troubleshooting.
