Cloud Solution Delivery Sr. Analyst at NTTDATA IPS (2022-01 – 2023-12)

Owned end-to-end performance testing as an individual contributor for a high-visibility Japanese client engagement, ensuring on-time delivery without external dependencies.

• Gathered non-functional requirements (NFRs) and translated them into scalable workload models simulating real-world user behavior and peak traffic conditions.
• Authored comprehensive performance test plans covering load, stress, and endurance scenarios, reducing ambiguity and rework during test execution.
• Developed and maintained Apache JMeter scripts for API and application performance testing, enabling repeatable, automated test cycles.
• Executed performance tests and analyzed response times, throughput, and error rates to identify bottlenecks and performance risks.
• Monitored application and infrastructure metrics using AWS CloudWatch, correlating system behavior with test results to support root cause analysis.
• Delivered actionable performance reports that supported production readiness and capacity planning decisions.

Test Analyst at Accenture Solutions (2020-01 – 2022-12)

Executed large-scale load tests simulating up to 1.3 million concurrent users during high-traffic events (annual football matches) for the BT Sports domain with zero production incidents.

• Designed and executed performance test scripts using Apache JMeter and BlazeMeter, covering script validation, execution, and results analysis.
• Automated web application testing workflows using Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, building automation frameworks from scratch.
• Conducted POC evaluations of Akamai and Redline13 as cost-effective alternatives to BlazeMeter; analyzed results across ~50 test iterations and documented tooling limitations for stakeholder decision-making.
• Managed testing workflows with Kanban boards, improving task visibility and team coordination across sprints.
• Identified performance bottlenecks in CI/CD and cloud-based infrastructure environments using multiple analysis techniques.

Test Engineer at Infosys Ltd. (2016-01 – 2020-12)

Conducted end-to-end performance testing for web applications supporting critical banking transactions within the Citibank Corporate Banking portfolio.

• Applied instrumentation-first testing approach: created test scripts, scenarios, and workloads, followed by execution and detailed result analysis.
• Analyzed non-functional requirements (NFRs) and performed trend analysis to assess system behavior under load across multiple release cycles.
• Planned and coordinated test environments and infrastructure, ensuring readiness and availability for scheduled performance test windows.
• Prepared and presented performance findings and recommendations to stakeholders to support production release decisions.
• Mentored and trained junior team members on performance scripting standards, result analysis techniques, and best practices.
• Implemented process improvements enhancing team efficiency, testing quality, and maintainability of performance test assets.
