I'm a SDET at LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) My day-to-day involves end-to-end test automation for financial data pipelines -> desktop UI automation with pywinauto, BDD orchestration with pytest-BDD/Gherkin, database validation, SFTP file verification, AWS EC2 testing, and SSH-driven validation. Before LSEG, I spent 7+ years (Deloitte and Wipro) across healthcare, insurance, and financial services - from building Selenium/Playwright UI suites to leading multiple QA teams. I also conduct technical interviews for SDET roles, so I know exactly what hiring managers look for.
