● Designed and owned test strategy for backend and API layers of web and mobile applications, focusing on critical business flows and system integrations. ● Introduced API and smoke-level automation using Cypress, reducing release validation time by 50% and improving confidence in backend-driven releases. ● Validated REST and gRPC APIs by designing integration and contract-level tests, identifying data inconsistencies and integration issues before release. ● Executed risk-based manual and exploratory testing focused on critical backend-driven business flows. ● Actively contributed to sprint planning by assessing backend dependencies and integration risks, preventing late-stage defects during releases. ● Investigated production issues by analyzing backend logs, API responses, and database states, supporting faster root cause analysis and resolution. ● Mentored new QA engineers and ensured knowledge transfer.

● Worked with complex, multi-service APIs in distributed system environments. ● Designed and implemented Java/TestNG-based API automation for system-level integration testing. ● Embedded automated testing into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for faster feedback loops. ● Conducted performance and regression testing of critical APIs in microservice environments. ● Supported Agile sprints with quality metrics and risk assessment.

● Tested secure file-sharing solutions (web, desktop, mobile). ● Designed test strategies and created comprehensive test plans. ● Set up and maintained test environments.
