About Eknath Dhauskar

Senior QA Automation & Quality Engineering Manager with 19 years of experience across enterprise IT and BFSI programs, specializing in automation strategy, framework governance, and scaled quality engineering. I have led multi-team automation initiatives using Selenium (Java), Playwright, and enterprise tools, with direct involvement in framework design decisions, reviews, and technical direction while working in leadership roles.My strengths lie in balancing hands-on technical understanding with people leadership, delivery ownership, and stakeholder alignment. I focus on building sustainable automation solutions, improving test effectiveness, and ensuring quality engineering practices deliver measurable business value.I am best suited for senior QA leadership, principal QE, or hybrid automation roles that require strategic thinking, architectural oversight, and pragmatic execution rather than pure coding-heavy architecture ownership.
