PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Senior software development engineer

Responsibilities:

• I did develop the entire test automation suite, started this project as the first QA Engineer to kick off the work, reviewed architecture, design, code, wrote entire test suite, reviewed the scenarios with product owner and did suggest lot of significant product and design improvement especially on security and usability.
• This product interacts with other IAM and Elastic Search product, did create the integrated test solution to test the E2E scenarios.
• As a Sr. SDET I used Java-stack which includes JUNIT, mockito, maven surefire and failsafe runner to automate test with the Bamboo as the CI. I did test and automated the all the tests for the entire release in very short period

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• I used Robot open source framework as the test harness and architected the test solution using mock apps which exposes REST Endpoints to manipulate the framework engine.
• Also did the entire test labs setup myself on AWS from the scratch and managed all the instances for both automation and performance testing.
• I did also use JMeter for performance testing along with Confidential .
• For Confidential monitoring I used Kibana, Logstash and Elastic Search stack.

Confidential

Senior QA Engineer

Responsibilities:

• I worked on the one of the very critical project called Quantitative Research and Risk Engine which uses PCA mathematical model and Linear regression to predict the instruments risks, based on which investment are being made in the portfolio daily.
• Testing is very data intensive, analytical, one of the complicated products to write the test scenarios. I did create the entire test bed from the scratch and automated it using the BDD framework called Cucumber with Java Binding, Jenkins, and myBatis. For the UI, I used Cucumber and Selenium Webdriver to automate the browser tests. Also created the PoC using SOAPUI with Groovy automation for REST API Testing
• Additionally wrote couple of test utilities using the statistical programming language called R which is used by quants along with VBA and Shell scripting. I also did a brief performance testing on Oracle Exadata using the in-house java based tool
• Briefly took over as Principal QA Engineer / Test Architect when the Architect left the team. I also managed the monthly data report to check the validity of the production run for 5 months.
