Results-driven QA Automation Lead with 11+ years of experience architecting enterprise-grade test automation frameworks, event-driven testing pipelines, and AI-led engineering solutions for mission-critical Capital Markets, Fintech, and EdTech platforms.
Technical expert in Java, Selenium, RestAssured, Cucumber BDD, Apache Kafka, and custom GitHub Copilot Agents.
Pioneering the integration of AI tools, custom Copilot Agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into modern software quality engineering.
Engineered and deployed custom GitHub Copilot Agents tailored for complex event-driven investment accounting platforms. Bypassing untestable UI layers, these agents interact directly with backend Apache Kafka topic payloads and SQL engines while enforcing strict organizational test compliance.
Automatically converts and formats Cucumber BDD scripts into structured CSV files for instant synchronization with Jira Xray test management.
Generates step definitions, page objects, and BDD scenario templates instantly, removing boilerplate coding overhead for new features.
Enforces strict Gherkin format rules and internal organization coding guidelines during automated test script generation.
Leverages domain skills (Portfolio.SKILL, FixedIncome.SKILL) to automatically create complex JSON/XML message payloads for financial transactions.
Performs intelligent pull request reviews enforcing framework design patterns, exception handling, and assertion accuracy.
Boosted framework delivery efficiency by 40%, eliminated manual BDD synchronization tasks, and standardized code quality across cross-functional engineering squads.
A comprehensive matrix of tools, frameworks, and programming languages mastered over 11+ years in test engineering.
A track record of technical leadership, framework development, and cross-functional quality assurance across premier organizations.
Validating a mission-critical investment accounting platform managing the complete front-to-back office trade lifecycle, daily portfolio valuation, corporate actions (dividend distribution), and data integrity assertions across global asset classes (equities, fixed income, derivatives, money market funds).
Engineered an event-driven automation framework in Java & Cucumber BDD. Bypassed the untestable UI by directly consuming and injecting Apache Kafka topics and events for portfolio creation and securities processing. Applied Page Object Model (POM) for Kafka message payloads, database connectors, and Oracle SQL assertions against expected Excel data. Integrated with Jenkins and GitHub for automated CI/CD runs.
Middle-office Alternative Investment platform for non-traditional assets (private equity, hedge funds, real estate, venture capital). Dual architecture comprising a core web application for asset record management and an SSRS portal for downstream financial reporting.
Engineered a Cucumber (BDD) automation framework from scratch in Java & Selenium WebDriver to validate workflows across Web UI, backend database tables, and SSRS reporting portals. Leveraged Apache Maven for dependencies and Excel files for complex data-driven comparisons. Integrated into Jenkins CI pipelines for rapid test feedback.
A multi-module Library Management System streamlining book cataloging, user registration, check-in/out, fine calculation, and real-time inventory management.
Maintained web browser automation using Selenium WebDriver and API automation using Apache HttpClient in Java. Utilized Gradle multi-project build scripts to manage modular dependencies. Orchestrated automated execution via Jenkins across distributed node agents with Selenium Grid on Firefox and Chrome.
An enterprise assessment platform enabling higher education stakeholders to track organizational goals, compile updates, and generate analytics reports.
Worked on an MVC application built in Elixir (functional programming). Wrote compile-time integration test scripts using the ExUnit library executed on every commit via GitLab CI/CD YAML pipelines. Built UI smoke test automation using Selenium, TestNG, Java, and Maven, scheduled via Jenkins.
Industry-recognized credentials validating expertise across GitHub, Cloud AI, Azure, and API testing.
I am actively exploring leadership and senior test automation roles to build scalable, AI-enhanced quality engineering ecosystems.
