About Venkatesh Derangula

Technology is my passion! I am a detailed oriented Software Engineer dedicated to ensuring the highest possible quality of software deliverables.After pivoting in my career from Manual Tester to Automation Test Engineer and DevOps Engineer, I have finally landed in Malaysia to work closely with one of the largest Telecom clients in the country. And, it’s been almost 2 years since I started working for these amazing people.A few pivotal moments along the way: In 2014: I joined TCS as a Manual Tester and helped in Quality Assurance of the multi-million dollar project. I played a major role in functional testing of multiple web applications and also, solely handled testing of a live provision of telecom services using an in-house lab. Core competencies acquired include Manual Testing, Automation Test execution (HP UFT) and defect management using HP ALM. In 2015: I moved to my second project to play the role of Test Automation Engineer to ensure the quality of Mobile Application using tools like Perfecto Mobile automation, SeeTest, and Charles Proxy. My daily activities include Functional testing and API testing. In 2017: I turned my passion for programming into actions and took up a role to design and developing automation frameworks using various tools. Amazing thing about this task is, it involves both programming and testing knowledge. The benefit of a framework is even a non-programming person can create automation scripts and execute in a short period of time. In 2022: After completing 8 years journey with TCS, I decided to to move to new organization. All the learning and experience I gained in TCS helped me to land in one of my dream companies, Oracle!Currently, I am working as a Lead SDET engineer in APIGW team of 5G Product. To be honest, learning in Oracle is amazing. In addition to Test Automation, I got opportunity to work in Performance testing and Release Engineer activities. Recent technological advancements in AI/ML have inspired me a lot. With that inspiration, I\'ve started acquiring knowledge on Machine Learning to become a part big change coming in our way.Expertise:Requirements gathering, Feasibility analysis, Framework design & development, Test script creation, Test Execution, Performance testing, and Test Management.Technical Skills: Core Java, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Cucumber, Robot Framework, JIRA, Docker, Kubernetes, Microservices, API testing, Linux, Jmeter, PerfGo, Eggplant, MicroFocus UFT.
