Mukund Badi

With over 12 years of experience in Software QA & Testing, I am eager to bring my expertise to a dynamic organization in the IT industry. As a seasoned QA Manager at Artsconsolidated, I have successfully led end-to-end testing efforts, achieved significant automation of manual test cases, and optimized test processes, resulting in a 30% reduction in testing cycle time and a 40% improvement in test coverage alignment with company objectives.

My proficiency in automation tools such as Selenium, Appium, and REST-Assured, coupled with my strong understanding of managing SDLC, STLC, and Bug Life Cycle, has enabled me to deliver impressive success across various levels of testing, including Smoke, Functional, Regression, and more. I have also led onsite QA initiatives at Redmart in Singapore and enhanced the operational effectiveness of WillowPump's USA operations.

I am confident in my ability to drive excellence in quality assurance practices and contribute to the success of your team. I am looking forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background, skills, and certifications can be beneficial to the organization.
