About Me

QE Lead with 10+ years of experience in test automation, framework design, and quality engineering across enterprise applications. Hands-on across UI, API, and protocol-level testing, and comfortable leading teams while still writing the code myself.

Manjunath
Framework & Strategy
Built automation practices from scratch — frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and team standards.
CI/CD & Environments
Jenkins, Docker, short-lived test environments, and automated stakeholder reporting baked into the pipeline.
Leadership & Standards
Led teams, set QE standards, and worked closely with Dev — testing as part of the cycle, not at the end of it.
AI in QE
Actively exploring MCP-based Playwright, GitHub Copilot, and a predictive test analytics portal.

I care about building quality systems that are visible, maintainable, and fast — not just passing test suites.
