Vimalraj Murugesan

Senior QA Automation Engineer with 7.5+ years delivering end-to-end quality for enterprise web and document management platforms. Hands-on across the full QA lifecycle — framework design, CI/CD integration, API automation, release validation, and production sign-off. Travelled onsite to Sweden to lead QA roadmap planning for a major product upgrade (Centuri 9 → 10), acting as the primary quality contact for international stakeholders.

Proven in reducing manual regression effort by ~70%, scaling automation coverage, and driving quality culture across teams. Currently integrating AI-assisted testing tools (Claude AI, GitHub Copilot, Playwright Codegen) to accelerate test development and reduce maintenance overhead.

Senior QA Automation Engineer at Wisright Technologies, Chennai (Client: Centuri AB, Sweden) (2022-04 – Present)

Promoted from Associate QA Automation Engineer. Product: Centuri – Document Quality Management System (Sweden).

• Travelled onsite to Stockholm, presented end-to-end QA strategy for Centuri 9 → 10 upgrade, established test scope, milestone gates, and risk sign-off criteria — sole QA representative in all international planning sessions.
• Designed and built the Playwright (JS) framework from zero — POM, reusable helpers, dynamic test data, multi-environment config — automating critical document workflows and cutting manual regression effort by ~70%.
• Architected GitHub Actions & Jenkins pipelines with layered execution (API → smoke → full regression) and parallel runs; reduced release feedback cycle from ~2 days to under 2 hours.
• Eliminated false failures from environment-specific config and data conflicts; standardised CI execution across all environments, improving pipeline trust and developer confidence.
• Owned pre-release validation, risk-based go/no-go decisions, and post-deployment smoke coverage — zero critical defects escaped to production across 12+ release cycles.
• Facilitated triaging with engineering and product teams, performed root cause analysis on high-severity issues, tracked resolution to closure within agreed SLAs.
• Mentored junior QA engineers in Playwright, CI debugging, and automation best practices — improving team autonomy and overall delivery quality.
