About Sampada Telang

Quality assurance isn’t just about checking boxes or marking pass/fail, it’s about deeply understanding the product, the project, and everything in between. It’s about anticipating risks and ensuring the delivery of reliable, scalable software. I approach QA as a full-stack discipline: clarifying requirements, designing robust test strategies, developing and managing test automation, supporting DevOps pipelines, and resolving issues in production. A strong QA presence is crucial for ensuring that the development process stays on track, identifying potential risks, and ensuring seamless integration across teams.With over six years in software quality assurance and test automation, I’ve worked across the SDLC to ensure every feature is tested not just for functionality, but for long-term stability, performance, and seamless integration. I bring a technical mindset to QA, comfortable navigating codebases, backend services, and CI/CD pipelines to proactively catch issues and support smooth releases.I specialize in building scalable, maintainable test automation frameworks using tools like Selenium and Playwright. Passionate about improving testing processes, mentoring teammates, and embedding quality across the development lifecycle. I also take initiative in guiding teams to adopt best practices and efficient workflows, ensuring that quality is maintained throughout the development process.Having worked in startup environments, I’ve gained experience handling end-to-end systems analysis, including requirements gathering, system design, and managing the complete lifecycle from development to deployment. I collaborate closely with business and technical teams to deliver robust, high-quality solutions.While my core responsibilities have been in software engineering and quality assurance, I’ve consistently applied strong data analysis skills to drive insights and support informed decision-making. With expertise in SQL, Python, Snowflake, Tableau, and Power BI, I can analyze trends, ensure data accuracy, and contribute to product and business improvements. This blend of technical quality focus and analytical thinking enables me to add value in both QA and data-driven roles.If you\'re passionate about quality or want to explore smarter, more efficient QA practices, I’d love to connect and share ideas.Skills: Test Planning, Functional & Non-functional Testing, Agile & Scrum, SDLC, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Cucumber, Ruby, Playwright, JUnit, Python, Java, SQL, API Testing, JMeter, AWS, Jenkins, CI/CD Pipelines, Snowflake, Power BI, Tableau
