Rishi Kumar

I am a result-oriented QA professional with 12+ years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, specializing in both Manual and Automation Testing for Web, Mobile, and API-based applications. I have a proven track record of building scalable automation frameworks, improving release quality, and optimizing testing processes in Agile environments.

Technical Expertise:
• Automation Testing: Selenium WebDriver, Rest Assured, Postman, Cucumber (BDD), TestNG, Maven, Jenkins, GitHub
• Manual Testing: Regression Testing, Integration Testing, Smoke Testing, Sanity Testing, UAT, Compatibility Testing, User Interface Testing, System Integration Testing
• Test Management Tools: Jira, Mantis, TestRail
• Programming & Frameworks: Java, Data-Driven Testing, BDD Frameworks
• Database & OS: MySQL, SQL, Windows, Linux

Over the years, I’ve:
✔ Reduced regression testing time by 60% by implementing modular Selenium-based automation frameworks
✔ Delivered near-zero production defects for high-traffic enterprise and fintech applications
✔ Designed and executed comprehensive test plans, test cases, and API test suites, ensuring 100% functional test coverage
✔ Collaborated with cross-functional teams to streamline defect triaging, improve QA processes, and drive CI/CD adoption
✔ Managed vendor-driven QA engagements, ensuring governance, strategy, and timely delivery

I thrive on learning emerging QA technologies, optimizing CI/CD-driven automation pipelines, and mentoring QA teams to embrace shift-left testing practices.

Currently, I’m exploring opportunities as a Senior QA Lead | Test Automation Architect | SDET, where I can contribute to scaling automation, improving quality metrics, and driving faster, safer software releases.
