Full-Time Production Role

QA Engineer

Current
Katmatic Solution Pvt. Ltd. β€’ Kathmandu, Nepal
April 2024 – Present
  • Built the team’s UI and end-to-end automation framework from scratch using Playwright and Python, replacing repetitive manual regression scripts and cutting regression execution time by 40%.
  • Designed and ran Apache JMeter load tests simulating up to 10,000 concurrent users, uncovering slow-loading endpoints and server bottlenecks that were optimized prior to release.
  • Owned QA responsibility across 3 core software products, partnering closely with developers to catch critical defects early and sharply reduce post-release production escapes.
  • Tested REST APIs with Postman, validating request/response JSON payloads, status codes, query headers, and comprehensive error handling between frontend and backend microservices.
  • Applied risk-based testing to write comprehensive functional, integration, and sanity test cases, systematically prioritizing business-critical user journeys.
  • Wrote complex SQL queries to verify database state transitions and ensure transactions completed with zero data loss or mutation errors.
  • Maintained containerized test environments with Docker and managed the full bug lifecycle in Redmine from triage and reproduction to developer fix and regression retest.

How I Approach Quality & Testing

Quality isn't just ticking off a checklistβ€”it's understanding how users think, catching edge cases early, and giving developers the confidence to ship fast.

01

Requirements Analysis & Risk Assessment

I don't just wait for tickets. I dive into specs and talk with devs to map out user journeys and edge cases before writing a line of test code.

02

Test Automation & Framework Architecture (POM)

I build clean Playwright + Python scripts with Page Object Model so our team runs regression suites in minutes with one click instead of spending entire afternoons clicking manually.

03

API Contract & Database Integrity Validation

UIs can look great while the backend fails silently. I test REST endpoints directly in Postman and query SQL databases to confirm genuine data integrity.

04

Performance Benchmarking & Concurrency (JMeter)

I simulate heavy traffic (up to 10k users in JMeter) to uncover memory leaks and slow endpoints in staging, not in front of live customers.

05

Defect Lifecycle & Agile QA Collaboration

When finding bugs, I share crystal-clear reproduction steps, logs, and video clips in Redmine, then work side-by-side with devs until it's resolved.
