Experience
March 2025 to presentMarch 2025
to presentSoftware Development Engineer in Test
Uvion Tech Pvt. Ltd, Kathmandu
I built and maintain a consumer-driven contract testing framework across microservices. It validates API schemas and catches breaking integration changes in CI, while they are still cheap to undo. End-to-end coverage is Playwright with pytest: page objects, parallel runs, and a report after each run. API suites are Java with JUnit and Ruby with HTTParty, and cases live in TestRail and Zephyr. I also write BDD scenarios, keep the Jenkins pipelines healthy, and spend real time tracking down flaky tests and taking them out of the suite.
August 2020 to December 2022August 2020
to December 2022Software Quality Assurance Engineer
Zegal Pvt. Ltd, Kathmandu
I automated behavior-driven tests in Java with Selenium and Cucumber, which shortened regression and made releases easier to move. I led testing for Legal Advice and Clickawill, from the early feature discussions through test cases, test data, and defects. After a fix I ran regression again before the build was trusted. When the same failures kept coming back, I took the pattern to the developers so the cause could be fixed at the source. The suites ran in Jenkins.
October 2019 to July 2020October 2019
to July 2020Jr. QA Engineer
Dynamic Technosoft Pvt. Ltd, Kathmandu
I wrote test cases for mobile and web applications and ran functional and smoke tests on each build. I worked closely with developers on performance, the problems users ran into, and how the product actually felt to use. This is also where my automation started, with Selenium and TestNG in Java.
