With over 12 years of hands-on experience in backend automation, API testing, and performance engineering, I help SDETs, QAs, and developers build smarter, scalable, and efficient test systems. I've led and contributed to high-impact testing initiatives at companies like Games24x7 (RummyCircle) and JioSaavn, handling everything from Rest Assured frameworks to WebSocket testing, Kafka validation, and distributed load testing using Locust and K6. ✅ Built a custom automation framework integrating WebSocket, Kafka, API, and DB clients (Redis, MySQL, MongoDB). ✅ Led performance dry runs for 300,000+ concurrent users using Python, Locust, and AWS EC2 orchestration. ✅ Experienced in QA strategy, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure scaling, and managing SDET teams in Agile environments. ✅ Domain experience in payments, music streaming, and high-concurrency systems — tested on web, mobile, and set-top boxes. Whether you're: Building your first automation framework Dealing with flaky test suites or low test coverage Planning performance testing for a large-scale system Working with WebSocket/Kafka and don’t know where to start Looking to break into an SDET role or level up as a QA leader I’d love to help you
