• Design high-coverage test cases including edge, negative, and exploratory scenarios.
• Conduct risk-based testing and root cause analysis (RCA).
• Optimize and maintain regression test suites.
• Perform impact analysis for requirement changes.
• Design and support UAT scenarios.

Automation Engineering (JavaScript/TypeScript – Playwright)

• Design, build, and maintain scalable UI and API automation frameworks using Playwright with JS/TS.
• Develop reusable utilities, helpers, and modular test components.
• Track automation coverage and improve flaky test reliability.
