About Saurabh Ramtekkar

Every time a payment fails in banking, someone loses trust — and sometimes millions.I build the automation systems that make sure that doesn\'t happen.I\'m Saurabh, a Senior SDET at Barclays with 7+ years specializing in test automation for high-stakes payment and fintech environments. I help engineering teams move faster without breaking what matters most — revenue flows, regulatory compliance, and customer trust.What I\'ve delivered:Architected Playwright and Karate-based frameworks that cut regression cycles by 50% across Visa and VisionPlus payment workflowsAutomated end-to-end payment processing — authorization, clearing, and settlement — across multi-network card systems, reducing manual effort by 50%Earned 4 consecutive \"Outstanding\" performance ratings at Barclays, influencing how automation strategy is adopted across regulated banking teamsMy work sits at the intersection of modern automation and legacy complexity — Shadow DOM, cross-browser execution via BrowserStack, mainframe integration, and multi-network payment systems. If it\'s hard to test and high-risk to break, that\'s where I do my best work.Right now, I\'m looking for my next challenge — roles where automation strategy meets complex compliance requirements and the technical bar is genuinely high.Fintech, banking, or payments team scaling test automation?
