Quality is not an act,
it's a habit.
I'm a Senior QA Engineer at GinesysOne — an e-commerce and order management system (OMS) platform. I own end-to-end QA strategy across order lifecycle workflows, REST API and webhook integrations, and automated regression — consistently safeguarding release quality across critical paths.
I specialize in Playwright (JavaScript) automation, REST API and webhook testing, cross-service data validation, and AI-augmented QA workflows using Claude AI and ChatGPT. I partner closely with product and engineering teams to define acceptance criteria early and drive release confidence across SaaS, e-commerce, OMS, and IoT domains.
Previously at Spintly SmartAccess, I progressed from Sr. QA Engineer to Project Coordinator — leading IoT access control QA and serving as the primary liaison for enterprise clients including Godrej and Anarock, managing sprint planning, stakeholder alignment, and on-time delivery across engineering and client teams.
