Designed and developed a hybrid automation framework integrating RSAT (Regression Suite Automation Tool) with Selenium + Java to enable end-to-end business process testing. Led and mentored a team of QA engineers, guiding them in framework usage, test design, and delivery best practices. Strengthened QA delivery by embedding automation into release processes, improving reliability for client rollouts. Actively exploring automation tool innovation to future-proof QA practices within D365 environments. Delivered automation coverage of critical test scripts for client projects, supporting smooth release execution cycles. Actively involved in release execution planning and providing QA sign-off for D365 deployments. Researched and experimented with new automation tool approaches, contributing ideas for potential innovation and efficiency improvements.

Expanded automation scope by working with additional clients, handling end-to-end release executions and improving test efficiency. Learned and became certified in Leapwork, applying it to client use cases and showcasing automation solutions. Continued ownership of the automation framework (Selenium + Java), enhancing it further and integrating it with CI/CD pipelines to streamline release processes. Conducted product demos and knowledge-sharing sessions for clients and stakeholders, including projects involving Infor M3. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure business workflows were validated and automation aligned with client objectives. Strengthened version control and framework stability by managing code with Azure Repos and Git. Recognized for introducing Leapwork capabilities into the QA team and earning certification. Achieved ExecuteAutomats Fundamentals Certification, further solidifying automation testing skills.

Designed and developed a custom automation framework in Selenium with Java, continuously enhancing it to support evolving business needs. Automated key processes for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O), ensuring high coverage and reducing manual testing effort. Integrated Regression Suite Automation Tool (RSAT) with the in-house framework to enable execution of end-to-end test cases. Collaborated closely with clients and cross-functional teams to validate business-critical processes and integrations (e.g., Basware for financial workflows). Maintained automation codebase using Azure Repos and Git, with regular commits and version control best practices. Worked on test strategy design, framework scalability, and continuous improvements to align with Agile delivery. Built a new test automation framework from scratch and established it as the foundation for long-term test automation within the team. Improved traceability and reusability by integrating RSAT into the existing automation approach.

During my time at Dynata, I worked as part of the QA team on projects involving Microsoft Dynamics CRM/CE. I was responsible for both manual and automation testing, ensuring that each new release met business expectations without disrupting existing functionality. I gained strong hands-on experience in building and maintaining automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver with C# and NUnit. Alongside automation, I also performed functional, regression, smoke, and sanity testing to validate deployments and identify issues early. I actively collaborated in an Agile environment, working closely with developers, product owners, and business stakeholders during sprint planning, daily stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives. I also supported CI/CD processes by integrating automated test runs and reporting results, which helped improve release efficiency. Beyond testing, I created user documentation with screenshots to support UAT and worked with tools like JIRA, SQL, Postman, Visual Studio, and GitHub on a daily basis. Major Highlights: Helped reduce manual testing effort by implementing automation in regression cycles. Improved release quality and delivery timelines by strengthening QA practices within Agile teams. Acted as a bridge between business users and the technical team during UAT phases.

• Collaborated with business analysts and developers to identify, document, and track defects, ensuring timely resolution before deployment. • Prepared and distributed daily, weekly, and monthly MIS reports to stakeholders, providing insights into transaction volumes, issues, and process efficiency. • Performed functional and regression testing of critical pension account management processes, ensuring accuracy of financial transactions. • Assisted in streamlining testing and reporting processes, improving visibility and accountability for project progress. • Actively participated in user acceptance testing (UAT) by coordinating with end users and ensuring new features met business requirements before release. • Trained new QA team members on standard operating procedures for defect management and reporting, supporting faster onboarding and consistency across projects.
