Client: PepsiCoIn my present capacity, I am accountable for undertaking system performance testing to ensure system reliability, capacity, and scalability. I also develop and execute performance test plans and cases with the testing team. Additionally, I develop and run automated test scenarios and environments for performance testing.In this role, I conduct the PoC, articulate the performance testing proposals for new clients, and associate with the sales team to procure new performance testing, estimations, and billing projects. I examine the performance of the CI/CD pipeline. I also handle the performance regressions early and create performance test suites that can be run routinely during program development. Furthermore, I finalize a test environment, data sets, and data. I also implement the Performance testing tools like JMeter and LoadRunner for replicating user interactions, API calls, and other system activities. My career highlights include the following: • Improved Application Performance: Identified and fixed mission-critical application performance bottlenecks, improving response times and system performance. Improved user experience and customer satisfaction.• Performance Test Automation: Developed and handled a performance test automation framework to simplify test script creation and execution, streamlined with the automation framework.• Collaborative Troubleshooting: Assisted in development, operations, and infrastructure teams in solving challenging performance issues. Guided in discovering and rectifying the root causes, improving application performance and stability.• Performance Testing in Agile Environment: Merged the overall performance testing with sprint cycles and delivered early performance insights in an Agile development process. This proactive strategy prevented performance regressions and enabled performance optimizations.

Clients: Kohl’s (www.kohls.com) and Toys"R"Us As Performance Test Engineer, I played a stellar role in performing the debug, smoke, warm-up, stress, regression, load, stress, spike, and endurance test in different environments. Tested the APIs, Client Apps, and 3rd party applications. I also utilized the LoadRunner & JMeter for designing performance testing frameworks.During my association, I undertook the performance testing & analysis of web platforms and applications, prepared the scripts and scenarios, recorded and interpreted the flows, identified the defects & rectified the issues. Furthermore, I analyzed the heap usage and discovered the memory leak through the heap dump, reviewed thread usage & deadlock activities through the thread dump, and examined the application & other third-party server logs. I also evaluated the AWS Performance Insights as well as CPU consumption through JFR.My career highlights include the following: • Load Testing for Product Launch: Played a stellar role in stimulating thousands of consumers for a high-profile product launch. Ensured that the application architecture could handle the expected user demand, allowing the product to launch without performance concerns and delivering a flawless user experience.• Performance Test Reporting and Documentation: Produced and issued the performance test reports and documentation clearly expressing the objectives, methods, findings, and recommendations, enabling informed decision-making and proactive performance improvement.• Proactive Performance Monitoring: Deployed a real-time performance monitoring system. Proactive monitoring detected performance issues before they affected end-users, decreasing downtime.• Scalability Testing: Examined a web app's scalability under increasing user loads. Determined the application's maximum user capacity without performance degradation and recommended scalability optimization for future development.
