Work Experience
Senior Quality Assurance Engineer
VESTIBULE LLC DBA WE THE CULTURE
- Started on this project with zero documentation and was able to handle testing on all branches of the project, from gameplay to API calls, to web UI. Created documentation to ensure that the team worked efficiently and effectively.
- Introduced design testing and asked hard questions, often finding many high-level bugs in product design before anything was built, and saved time later.
- Provided the concept of UAT and system testing, which helped us to deliver bug-free production release as real money was involved in production.
QA Engineer
Werkt LLC
- Worked on testing 900 WordPress pages in a short span of time. I used both manual and automated techniques and also contributed to setting up QA checklists and processes for testing the web pages. I tested on multiple environments.
- Used different tools for cross-browser and responsive testing, broken links and crawling, page speed and performance, accessibility, content comparison, and block presence.
- Tested and retested all the pages and helped the team to launch all pages on scheduled time. It was a massive release and went successful after the UAT. I set up a unique process and focused on team communication, which played an important role.
QA Expert
Pearson
- Worked on the education domain using tools like Learnosity and LaTeX to ensure the quality of the platform from an end-to-end perspective. Delivered complete assignments for years 11 and 12.
- Owned the overall QA strategy of the program's applications and API performance.
- Analyzed the impact and documented any risks associated with deploying the new chapters and assignments into production.
- Developed a test strategy and plans for the different phases of the projects, including related estimated test efforts.
Quality Consultant
I2C
- Identified discrepancies between functionality and functional specification documents. Performed testing of OLTP, run time transactions, web applications, E2E testing, mobile applications, and E2E testing.
- Worked on verification and validation during the development process as we had to maintain the quality during the building process and when we delivered the end product. Reported bugs with the test cases and tracked them with tasks.
- Maintained the environment flow from QA to UAT to staging to production and went live without any major bugs. Security and load testing were done after QA environment approval, which helped smooth product delivery.
- Managed data integration, customization, and automation with NetSuite.
Senior Test Engineer
Coeus Solutions
- Faced the challenges of using mobile devices and other compatibility and responsive issues. Introduced BrowserStack, which reduced the overall cost and time and helped increase productivity and efficiency.
- Introduced Zephyr for test case writing, which improved the whole QA process. To stop bug leakage, I started working on the E2E testing approach, resulting in quality products.
- Worked on releases that went bug-free because of positive feedback. QA needed to be part of the technical support team for training purposes; this way, we got direct feedback, answered the end users' questions, and solved their queries.
Software Test Engineer
Coeus Solutions
- Introduced test planning and test reporting with test cases for the projects, which helped us track the projects' progress and follow the defined procedures.
- Shifted all the documentation to a central tool like Confluence so users could view and make changes accordingly.
- Followed the documentation and wrote and shared everything with the team, ensuring the production deployment went successful. Sent my test cases to the development team so they could execute them.

Volcom Stoneland
DELIVERABLES
It was a new domain, and I started with exploratory testing to know the system.
There was no documentation, and this project had various components, which were integrated later. I tested components like the web front and back end, mobile apps, APIs, games, and smart contracts. I completed the end-to-end testing to make sure that everything was running fine. After that, I made test cases for UAT and system testing and pushed the project to production after performing all kinds of testing and stakeholders' approval.
