   Senior Automation Test Engineer with over 6 years of experience designing and implementing scalable test automation solutions for enterprise and financial systems. Currently working on a Nordea banking engagement in the BFSI domain, focusing on automation, API validation, and CI/CD-driven quality engineering.My core expertise lies in building and maintaining Java-based automation frameworks using Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), and REST Assured. I work extensively with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Maven to enable reliable, parallel execution of regression and smoke suites, helping teams release with confidence.I have hands-on experience validating complex business workflows, service integrations, and transaction-heavy systems in capital markets and banking environments. My work often involves improving framework stability, increasing automation coverage, and identifying defects early in the development cycle.I am comfortable working in Agile teams, collaborating closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to ensure sprint-level quality and production readiness. I take ownership of automation strategy, test execution, and defect analysis, with a focus on maintainable and scalable solutions rather than short-term fixes.Key skills:Java, Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber (BDD), REST Assured, API Automation, Jenkins, CI/CD, Maven, Git, SQL, TestNG, Page Object Model, Hybrid Frameworks, Agile, BFSI, Capital Markets, OMS, RMSI am open to opportunities in Senior SDET, Automation Engineer, and Quality Engineering roles, particularly in BFSI, fintech, and product-based organizations where automation and engineering practices are central to delivery.
