About Raman Hullur

With over 9+ years of experience as a Test Automation Architect, I don’t just find bugs—I build resilient, high-performance systems that prevent them. My expertise spans the entire digital ecosystem: Mobile (iOS/Android), Web, and API, across high-stakes industries including Healthcare, Fintech, Infra, Utility and E-commerce Domains. I specialize in transforming manual testing debt into high-velocity automated pipelines. From conducting Proof of concepts to delivering production-ready automation frameworks, I ensure that quality is \"shifted left\" and integrated into the CI/CD lifecycle: Framework Architecture: Expert in designing scalable automation using, with a focus on clean, maintainable code. Cross-Platform Mastery: Hands-on experience with real-device testing across iPhones, iPads, Android Phones & OS TVs. API & Microservices: Robust backend validation using Rest Assured, Postman, and Spring Boot Test. Expert in Test Estimation, Strategy, and leading Quality Engineering within Agile (Scrum & SAFe) environments. I am actively integrating Generative AI (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini) into the SDLC through Prompt Engineering to accelerate test case generation, automate documentation, and optimize code review processes—staying at the forefront of the 2025 automation landscape. & I thrive on solving complex technical challenges, a passion recognized by industry leaders through multiple performance awards:(): Recognized for high-impact contributions to the Sync App automation ecosystem.(): Awarded for excellence in executing the complex DM-CO Migration test strategy.( & ): Received back-to-back honors for consistent delivery excellence and technical contribution.(): Specially recognized for pivotal automation contributions to a high-priority Norwegian project. Best Team Award (CGI, 2019): Part of the core engineering team that secured top honors for the ISSAFE Project.(): Shortlisted among the Top 50 Bug Hunters in India, demonstrating elite-level exploratory testing and vulnerability identification skills.

1. Staff Engineer

   Stryker

   Jun 2025 — Present · Bangalore Urban, IN

   Contributing for cross-platform mobile automation(Appium, Java) for native and hybrid apps, ensuring seamless user experiences across various device configurations and OS versions. Implemented Parallel Execution for mobile suites, cutting total execution time by 50% and providing near-instant feedback to development teams. Engineered multi-platform automation frameworks using Playwright (Java/TS) and Selenium(Before migration), achieving a 60% reduction in regression cycle time. Architected API testing strategies (using REST Assured/Java) to validate microservices, ensuring 99.9% data integrity and reducing backend-related production bugs by 25%. Optimized test reliability by leveraging Playwright’s auto-waiting and network interception capabilities, eliminating WebDriverWait/Sleep hacks and reducing flaky test rates from 15% to <2%. Partnered with Product and Engineering Team to define \"Definition of Done\" for high-traffic features, ensuring 100% test coverage for critical user journeys. Shift-Left Advocate: Integrated automated gates into the CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, preventing code with critical regressions from reaching staging environments. Technical Mentorship: Conducted multiple knowledge sharing session for team members to align the technical feasibility.
