QA Automation Engineer with 3+ years of experience in manual and automation testing of web-based applications, specializing in Playwright, Python, Pytest, Page Object Model (POM), REST API testing, Postman, SQL, MongoDB, and 3D model validation. Hands-on experience developing and maintaining end-to-end UI automation frameworks, executing functional and regression testing, validating APIs and backend data, and integrating automated testing into CI/CD workflows. Experienced in Jenkins, Git, Allure reporting, environment-based test execution, and Agile/Scrum environments.

Strong domain experience in BIM/AEC and engineering applications, including Tekla Structures, structural steel modeling workflows, Autodesk Forge Viewer, BIM data validation, and browser-based 3D model testing. Contributed to reducing manual regression effort by 60% and overall testing cycle time by 30%.

QA Engineer at Virtuele — A Subsidiary of Sanria Pvt Ltd (2022-11 – Present)

• Developed and maintained end-to-end UI automation frameworks using Playwright, Python and Pytest, reducing manual regression testing effort by 60%.
• Designed and maintained a scalable Page Object Model (POM) architecture to improve automation maintainability, reusability and scalability.
• Created and executed automated and manual test scenarios covering functional, regression, integration, smoke, sanity and UI testing across sprint releases.
• Performed REST API testing using Postman, validating HTTP status codes, request/response payloads, endpoint behaviour and API integrations.
• Performed 3D model and Autodesk Forge Viewer validation for browser-based engineering applications, verifying model behaviour, visibility and functionality.
• Tested workflows involving BIM data, engineering applications and model-related functionality, applying domain knowledge of Tekla Structures and structural steel modeling.
• Designed test cases, test scenarios, test strategies and test plans based on functional requirements, user stories and sprint changes.
• Prepared and maintained test documentation, execution results and release validation reports.
• Identified, documented, tracked and retested defects throughout the Defect Life Cycle, providing reproducible steps, screenshots, API responses, console information and technical evidence.
• Collaborated with developers, business analysts and product teams during Agile/Scrum activities to clarify requirements, identify risks and resolve defects.
• Performed backend validation using SQL/MySQL and MongoDB to verify database changes following UI and API operations.
• Investigated automation failures by analysing test errors, application behaviour, test data, environment configuration and CI execution results.
• Worked with Jenkins CI/CD concepts and automated test execution workflows, supporting integration of Playwright/Pytest regression tests into continuous integration processes.
• Used Git-based workflows for automation code management, version control and team collaboration.
• Implemented environment-based test execution and Allure reporting for improved regression execution and failure visibility.
• Used Claude AI to accelerate Playwright test creation, code refactoring, debugging and automation maintenance.
