About Pavan Kumar G

Performance Test Engineer with 4.2 years of experience in Performance Testing and Performance Engineering for high-scale Web and API platforms across Telecom, Banking, and Insurance domains.I currently handle end-to-end Non-Functional Testing (NFT) ownership, starting from NFR gathering, workload modelling, test strategy, execution, and performance analysis, to stakeholder reporting and Go/No-Go decisions. I work closely with product owners, architects, developers, DevOps, and infrastructure teams in Agile environments to ensure performance risks are identified early and addressed effectively.My expertise includes API and microservices performance testing, identifying bottlenecks across application, database, and infrastructure layers using APM tools like New Relic and Dynatrace. I have hands-on experience resolving complex performance issues such as pod-level scaling bottlenecks, database contention, and integration service latency, delivering measurable improvements (up to 40–50% reduction in response times).I am proficient with JMeter, BlazeMeter, Postman, Fiddler, Splunk, and have exposure to AWS environments and Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines for continuous performance validation. Alongside technical execution, I actively mentor team members, drive best practices, and ensure SLA compliance through data-driven insights.I am currently exploring Performance Test Lead / Performance Engineering opportunities where I can contribute to scalable, reliable, and high-performing systems while continuing to grow in cloud-native and DevOps-aligned performance engineering.

Experience

1. Quality Engineering Analyst

   Jul 2024 — Present · Hyderabad, IN

   Responsible for end-to-end performance engineering and performance testing of large-scale web applications and API platforms. My role includes gathering NFRs, designing performance test strategies, creating realistic workloads, and executing load, stress, endurance, and scalability tests. I work extensively with tools like JMeter, LoadRunner, BlazeMeter, Postman, and leverage APM solutions such as Dynatrace and New Relic for deep-dive analysis and bottleneck identification.Collaborate closely with developers, architects, and DevOps teams to analyze system behavior, optimize application performance, and recommend tuning at both application and database levels. I also integrate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines, support cloud-based execution in AWS environments, and participate in Go/No-Go decision meetings to ensure performance readiness for production releases. My work contributes directly to improving stability, scalability, and customer experience for mission-critical applications, including telecom-domain systems like Viasat applications and web services.
