I work with REST APIs for functional and automation testing.

Postman REST Assured REST API

• GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE
• Request Headers
• Query Parameters
• Path Parameters
• Request Body
• Status Code Validation
• JSON Validation
• Response Validation
• Authentication
• API Chaining
• Schema Validation
• Business Rule Validation

I use database validation to verify backend data and support end-to-end testing.

SQL MySQL MongoDB

• Data Validation
• CRUD Operations
• Backend Verification
• API-to-Database Validation
• Test Data Validation
• Migration Data Validation

Before focusing primarily on QA Automation, I also worked with modern web development technologies.

React.js Next.js JavaScript TypeScript
HTML CSS Tailwind CSS Bootstrap

Node.js Express.js MongoDB REST APIs

This development background helps me understand applications across the complete flow:

UI → API → Backend → Database

I believe effective automation starts with understanding the application and its business requirements.

Requirement Analysis → Test Design → Test Execution → Defect Analysis → Retesting → Regression → Closure

My focus is on building automation that is:

Reliable • Maintainable • Reusable • Scalable
