Ensuring software quality through comprehensive testing strategies and automation solutions.
I am a detail-oriented QA Engineer with about 2 years of experience in ensuring software quality through comprehensive testing strategies. My expertise spans both manual and automated testing, with a focus on creating efficient, scalable test frameworks.
I specialize in performance testing with tools like K6 and JMeter, functional testing with Playwright, security testing with Burp Suite, and API testing with Postman. My approach combines technical expertise with a user-centric mindset to deliver exceptional software quality.
My comprehensive skill set allows me to implement robust testing strategies across various platforms and technologies. From manual exploratory testing to advanced automation frameworks, I ensure thorough quality assurance at every stage of the development lifecycle.
Designed performance test frameworks in k6 to validate system stability under load and identify bottlenecks.
Also started a weekly learning session where I share something new I’ve learned each week, covering QA best practices, API testing, automation, and security fundamentals — so the team grows together with me.
Designed automated test frameworks, cutting regression time by 60% and boosting test coverage by 45%.
Performed manual and automated testing for e-commerce platforms, finding and documenting 150+ critical bugs.
Complete functional testing of an e-commerce platform across customer, seller, and admin portals, covering the full purchase lifecycle with a balanced mix of testing strategies — functional, regression, integration, UAT, and exploratory.
End-to-end testing of the TMS V2 (Transaction Management System) covering web and terminal transactions — automated end-to-end flows with Playwright and Newman, REST API validation, load and stress performance testing, and security validation including MQTT-based POS transaction simulation across smoke, load, stress, and spike scopes.
Tested the card management system for both credit and debit cards — automated card lifecycle, limits, and transaction processing flows, plus REST API validation of card services via Postman, Swagger, and Newman.
Functional testing of the Road Board toll collection application on Android POS terminals — payments and receipt generation — alongside dedicated load and security testing of the application.
Designed and maintained a performance test framework in k6 for POS transaction simulation — executing smoke, load, stress, and spike scenarios to validate system behaviour and capacity.
Validated the MQTT server used for POS transaction simulation as part of security testing — verifying secure and reliable transaction flows over MQTT within the TMS V2 ecosystem.
Engaged in end-to-end testing of TMS-V3, a complete SaaS web application supporting the terminal and payment ecosystem — covering functional, integration, and API-level validation.
The people I’ve worked with have said some great things about me and my work.
Aaditya is a highly reliable and detail-oriented QA engineer who owns product quality from start to finish. A quick learner with a strong problem-solving mindset, he turns complex features into effective test scenarios, and his clear communication makes collaboration seamless. I’d highly recommend him to any team looking for a proactive QA professional.

Every QA engineer’s dream — squash the bugs before the release. Tap the red bugs, hunt the golden P0s, and whatever you do, don’t squash the features!
