Experience

Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

SilverXis Inc (Contract Client: Cardinal Health) · Irving, TX

CurrentDec 2022 – Present
  • Architected a scalable Playwright + TypeScript automation framework: Automated UI and API regression scenarios for order management, inventory, and pharmacy distribution workflows, reducing flaky failures from nearly 12% to below 4% through stable locator strategies, retry-aware reporting, isolated test data, and Allure-based failure tracking.
  • Improved CI/CD test execution: Integrated Dockerized Playwright runs into GitHub Actions with parallel execution, cutting regression runtime from 3.5 hours to under 1 hour and giving teams faster feedback during sprint releases.
  • Built API automation coverage for order and inventory services: Validated 200+ endpoints across 12 microservices using Playwright API testing, Pact contract tests, and SQL checks, helping reduce late-cycle backend defects by 25–30%.
  • Stabilized test environments: Ran scheduled Playwright suites on AWS EC2 environments with seeded supply chain test data, creating a reliable baseline for sprint testing and reducing environment-related false failures by 10%.
  • Streamlined defect triage: Built a TypeScript utility that captured failed test details, logs, and screenshots, auto-created Jira tickets, and routed issues to code owners, reducing reporting time from 20 minutes to under 3 minutes.

SilverXis Inc (Intern Client: Vantage Bank) · San Antonio, TX

June 2021 – Dec 2021
  • Automated 120+ regression test cases using Java, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, and Maven, reducing manual testing effort by 45% across sprint release cycles and improving test execution consistency.
  • Built iOS mobile test suite using Appium with dynamic element locators and XCUITest integration; increased mobile regression coverage by 60% and reduced escape defect rate for mobile releases.
  • Executed JMeter performance benchmarks simulating up to 5,000 virtual users and identified 2 critical response-time bottlenecks before production release.

Sr. Test Engineering Analyst / Associate Test Analyst

Accenture · Pune, IN

March 2016 – July 2019
  • Built and scaled a Cucumber/Gherkin BDD framework that automated 500+ regression test cases across a Barclays payment platform, reducing monthly release testing effort and shortening sprint testing cycles by 2 days.
  • Optimized 50+ complex SQL queries across Mainframe DB2 and SQL Server to automate data validation, transforming manual verification workflows into scheduled pipelines and improving regression data-check consistency.
  • Led regression and UAT validation for 4 consecutive Barclays payment releases, covering critical transaction flows, defect fixes, and release readiness checks, which supported on-schedule production deployments with minimal post defects.
  • Executed manual and exploratory testing across functional, regression, and UAT cycles for a banking application, uncovering critical issues through detailed validation and contributing to a 95% on-time release rate.
  • Identified and reported 60+ defects across Agile sprints in HP QC by documenting clear reproduction steps, environment details, and severity levels, resulting in faster issue resolution and reduced developer follow-ups.

Projects

LLM Regression Testing Framework

Built a pytest-based evaluation harness to compare LLM outputs across prompt and model changes, using scoring functions to detect regressions, output drift, and quality degradation.

PythonpytestLLM EvaluationScoring FunctionsGenAI

Autonomous Flakiness Detector

Built a Python-based CI analytics tool to analyze historical test failures, identify recurring flaky patterns, quarantine unstable tests, and send Slack alerts to reduce repeated CI investigation effort.
