Work History

QA Automation Engineer

Southwest Airlines
Dallas, TX
03.2024 - Current
  • Agile & Shift-Left Testing Approach
    At Southwest Airlines, I worked within a 30-member Agile team distributed across onsite, offshore, and nearshore locations. We implemented a shift-left testing methodology, ensuring early defect detection by validating features even before code integration by developers.
  • Comprehensive Platform Testing
    I was responsible for end-to-end platform testing, including Fullsite, mWeb, and Native applications. Testing was performed using SeeTest devices, Android Studio, and Appium for native app validation, ensuring seamless functionality across all user touchpoints.
  • Automation Tools & Migration Initiatives
    Our automation framework was initially built using JBehave and Cucumber for behavior-driven testing, Appium for mobile automation. Later, I played a key role in migrating to ACCELQ, an AI-powered automation platform leveraging Selenium with Java for intelligent test automation and integrated API testing using automated scripts in Postman and SoapUI.
  • Domain Expertise & Complex Scenario Handling
    With deep expertise in the airline domain, I handled complex business scenarios involving global distribution system like Amadeus, including tools like Altea Inventory and ARD for managing flight disruptions and delays. Chase for refunds and travel funds.
  • Collaboration, Ownership & Key Contributions
    I was actively involved in major product changes, such as the introduction of assigned seating and the new baggage policy. Expertise in managing test cases and defects using JIRA with Xray, maintaining test documentation in Confluence, and leveraging Git, GitLab, and Azure DevOps for version control, CI/CD integration, and collaborative testing in Agile environments.

    At CGI Inc., I contributed to a Denmark government project focused on delivering agricultural benefit schemes to farmers, there are various schemas that I have been part of and I have gained valuable domain knowledge in public sector workflows and end-user-centric systems.
  • Manual Testing Proficiency
    I was involved in various stages of the testing lifecycle, including BRD analysis, test case design, execution, and defect tracking, while performing functional, regression, smoke, sanity, compatibility, ad-hoc, and exploratory testing to ensure product reliability manually.
  • Automation Scripting & Framework Design
    I developed reusable automation scripts using Selenium WebDriver with Java and structured test cases with TestNG and JUnit frameworks, implementing test grouping, execution flow control, and custom assertions.
  • Build & Reporting Tools Integration
    Leveraging Maven for project build management and dependency handling, I streamlined automation workflows and integrated Allure Reports to generate comprehensive and visually detailed test reports for enhanced traceability. Used JIRA as project management tool.
  • Backend Data Verification & UI Automation Enhancements
    Validated test results by writing and executing SQL queries against backend databases to ensure accurate data transactions, synchronization, and compliance with business logic. Enhanced UI test automation by implementing XPath optimizations, and reusable page object models, leading to improved script stability and reduced execution time.
