Overseeing the QE Technology Program, E2E test strategy, I identified appropriate tools, test methods, and automation approaches for products/projects. I integrated quality process SDLC by working with cross-functional teams. I supported Engineering teams on high-quality test practices, providing a shared service of resources. My role involved conducting periodic reviews with the Delivery team on operational, quality and fulfillment parameters and new ideas and successful implementation of existing projects. I successfully minimized process exceptions and deviations from the actual project plan by escalating them from the project charter to Delivery Managers. Sharing insights with the Delivery leadership on overall performance, including project health, utilization, realization, etc., I highlighted critical escalations and risks. Leading a team of 6 SDETs on Quality Engineering efforts, including code reviews for automation and product code for delivery for projects worth $3M, I also managed a 30-member Automation Testing team (onshore & offshore). Dropped manual efforts by 25% for API script execution, 20% for Kafka-based apps, 50% for in-sprint automation, and 30% for initial project setup.60% test execution time reduction and release cycle time by 40%, and regression test execution by 30%.Reduced backlog prioritization by 15%, data latency by 50%, processing time by 40%, and automation code review effort by 10%.Decreased initial tool assessment effort by 20%, time spent on manual tasks by 30%, and internal test time by 30%. Increased project completion by 25% and reported ~30 defects by introducing the Epic level targeted execution approach and module-based Regression Test approach.Saved 15% of team efforts by streamlining 10 automation projects' initial setup running on the common automation framework. ‘Team Appreciation’ award for resolving issues/potential escalations by conducting periodic cadence with the Quality team.

Primarily responsible for developing effective test cases and scenarios in line with functional changes for the volatile requirements, I helped the 6-member QA team identify defects at an early stage. I significantly contributed to the successful implementation of automation coding standards and best practices matrix. Streamlining the QA automation process, I enabled new joinees on board to adhere to all coding standards throughout the code review process. I played a pivotal role in finalizing the automation tool and streamlining the QA testing and automation processes by assessing various automation tools in the market for UI and functional testing, helping customers finalize the automation tool.20% reduction in regression manual effort by developing the automation test suite for UI using the Quick Test Professional tool.Minimized bug leakage by 15% in the production environment resulting in improved overall test coverage accuracy by developing and executing test scenarios matrix.
