About
QA mindset with engineering discipline
I focus on building quality into software delivery, not just finding defects at the end. At Deerhold Nepal, I work as a Software QA Engineer / SDET on healthcare applications, covering functional, regression, smoke, and API validation workflows.
My work combines manual testing fundamentals with automation depth, including framework development, test planning, and CI/CD integration through Azure DevOps pipelines.
Current Focus
Web automation, API validation, and reliable release quality for healthcare products.

Projects & Achievements
QA case studies from production delivery
Each case highlights the problem, approach, and practical outcomes delivered within product teams.
Automation Framework Development
Playwright
TypeScript
Regression QA
Problem
Regression execution needed stronger structure and repeatability for critical web workflows.
Approach
Designed reusable automation architecture and script patterns to keep suites clean, scalable, and easier to extend.
Outcome
Improved regression consistency and enabled faster onboarding for new automated scenarios.
My Ownership
Framework design, reusable component setup, and ongoing script maintenance for core journeys.
Selenide to Playwright Migration
Selenide
Kotlin
Playwright
TypeScript
Problem
The existing Selenide stack needed modernization for better maintainability and long-term scale.
Approach
Executed phased migration to Playwright with refactored scripts and updated execution standards.
Outcome
Automation coverage increased by 8% and contributed to a 10% reduction in production defect leakage.
My Ownership
Migration execution, script conversion quality, and alignment of test design with release priorities.
