Python Automation Engineer | Test Automation Engineer | API and AI Automation
Bengaluru, India | 6+ years across SDLC, STLC, UI automation, API automation, and test engineering
Test Automation Engineer with 6+ years of experience across SDLC and STLC, specializing in Python-based automation, Selenium, Robot Framework, Pytest, REST API validation, regression testing, functional testing, and production-support workflows. I have worked across telecom, enterprise server management, and industrial edge gateway domains, building automation that improves release confidence, reduces manual effort, and helps teams identify failures earlier.
My work includes UI automation, API automation, test data preparation, defect triage, Linux and Windows validation, Docker-based workflows, MQTT and SSH-based system testing, Salesforce ecosystem support, and documentation for user and developer teams. I am comfortable working with developers, QA teams, product owners, support engineers, and business stakeholders in Agile/Scrum environments.
I am now focused on combining strong QA fundamentals with modern automation tooling, including Playwright, AI-assisted testing, LLM workflows, RAG, prompt engineering, MCPs, and agent-based developer tools.
- Open to hiring: Most recently worked at ABB, Bengaluru as a Test Automation Engineer, and I am currently looking for new roles in QA Automation, Python Automation, Test Automation, and AI-assisted QA.
- Job search focus: Open to opportunities where I can contribute to automation framework development, API testing, UI automation, production support, and quality engineering.
- Currently learning: Playwright and practical AI automation workflows for testing, productivity, and developer tooling.
- Current open-source focus: Contributing to aaif-goose/goose, an open-source AI agent project, with merged work across desktop, provider, CLI, and session-state behavior.
- Planned certifications: AccelQ, ISTQB, AI for QA, test automation, and other quality-engineering focused credentials.
- Outside work, I enjoy reading, researching technology and tools, and watching or reading horror-genre stories.
