QA Automation Engineer / SDET — building test frameworks that catch what manual testing can't, from REST APIs to LLM-powered chatbots.

About Me
I'm Uday — a QA engineer based in Delhi who's spent the last four years turning testing into a craft, not just a checklist. I like building automation that other engineers can actually pick up and extend, not scripts that only make sense to the person who wrote them. Lately I've been pulled into a niche most testers haven't touched yet: figuring out how to actually test AI products, where "pass or fail" isn't always obvious. Outside of the day job, I'm the kind of person who reads the whole error log before asking for help — and usually finds the answer in there.
Summary
Results-driven QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years architecting automated test solutions for web applications, REST APIs, and AI/LLM-driven platforms. Specializes in Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript) and Selenium WebDriver, with a growing niche in LLM and chatbot quality engineering — intent validation, hallucination detection, and guardrail/prompt-injection testing. Designs scalable Page Object Model frameworks, embeds automation into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, and delivers measurable gains in regression efficiency and coverage.
What I Engineer
UI Automation
Playwright, TypeScript, Page Object Model, fixtures, locators, assertions, cross-browser testing.
API Automation
REST APIs, REST Assured, Postman, JSON validation, authentication, request/response validation.
AI / LLM Quality
Intent validation, hallucination testing, guardrails, prompt injection, safety and context validation.
CI/CD
Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, Maven, parallel execution, automated reporting.
What I Bring
The lens I test through — beyond just running scripts.
Shift-left by default
Automated regression lives inside the CI/CD pipeline from day one, so failures surface in minutes on a build — not days later in a QA queue.
AI-native quality engineering
Actively testing LLM behavior — hallucinations, guardrails, prompt injection — a discipline most teams haven't built a strategy for yet.
Frameworks, not one-off scripts
Page Object Model architecture built to be extended by other engineers, not relearned from scratch on every project.
Quality as a measurable lever
30–40% regression-efficiency gains aren't a side effect — they're the target, tracked and reported like any other engineering metric.
Full-stack coverage, one engineer
UI, API, backend data, and mobile in a single skill set — ground that often needs three specialists to cover.
Fast with new tooling
Already building AI-assisted workflows with Cursor and Copilot — comfortable adopting whatever accelerates the team next.
How I Approach Automation Framework Design
I design around maintainability, reusability, scalability, and reliable feedback — not just scripts that pass today.
Reusability
Avoid duplicating common actions by building reusable page methods, utilities, fixtures, and API helpers.
Separation of Concerns
Test scenarios stay separate from page interactions, test data, API utilities, and configuration.
Maintainability
Tests should stay easy to update when application behavior or UI structure changes.
Scalability
New test scenarios should be addable without unnecessary duplication.
Data Management
Test data and environment-specific configuration stay separated from test logic.
Reliability
Stable locators, explicit synchronization, meaningful assertions, and controlled test isolation.
How I Decide What to Automate
Good candidates
- Repetitive, stable scenarios
- Business-critical workflows
- High regression value
- API validations
- Data-driven and negative scenarios
Usually not worth automating
- Highly unstable / rapidly changing UI
- One-time exploratory checks
- Anything requiring subjective human judgment
