Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

SilverXis Inc · Irving, TX

CurrentDec 2022 – Present
  • Architected a scalable Playwright + TypeScript automation framework: Automated 450+ UI and API regression scenarios, reduced flaky test failures from nearly 12% to below 4% by introducing retry-aware reporting, stable locator strategies, and isolated test state all monitored through Allure dashboards across sprints deployments.
  • Optimized CI/CD Automation Execution: Implemented GitHub Actions pipelines with Dockerized Playwright runs and parallel execution, reducing regression runtime from 3.5 hours to under 1 hour across sprint deployments.
  • Built Robust API Automation Layer: Tested 200+ endpoints across 12 microservices using Playwright’s API client, adding Pact contract tests and SQL data validation to catch 30% of backend defects left before they reached manual QA.
  • Provisioned reliable test infrastructure: Ran scheduled Playwright suites on auto-provisioned AWS EC2 environments with seeded data, giving each sprint a consistent baseline and cutting environment-related false failures by 10%
  • Streamlined defect reporting: Built a TypeScript utility that parsed CI failures,auto-filed Jira tickets with logs,screenshots, and routed to owners based on recent code changes ,cutting defect-reporting time from 20 minutes to under 3

Mar 2016 – Jul 2019
  • Built and scaled a Cucumber/Gherkin BDD framework that automated 1,000+ regression test cases across a Barclays payment platform; saved 148 engineer-hours per monthly release cycle and shortened sprint testing lifecycle by 2 days — recognized with Accenture Excellence in Software Testing Award (Q1 2019).
  • Optimized 350+ complex SQL queries for automated data validation against Mainframe DB2 and SQL Server, converting entirely manual data verification workflows into scheduled automated pipelines.
  • Designed end-to-end test plans across 5 release phases for high-volume payment processing system, reducing critical bugs in UAT by 20% and production defects from 5 to under 2 per release.
  • Executed manual and exploratory testing across functional, regression, and UAT cycles for a banking application, uncovering critical application issues through detailed validation and contributing to a 95% on time release rate.
  • dentified 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.
