About

I’m Sahil Sharma, an Automation QA Lead with 10+ years in QA engineering. I focus on building maintainable frameworks, integrating testing into CI/CD, and improving reliability across releases.

Skills

Playwright (TS), Cypress (JS/TS), scalable framework design (POM)
CI/CD: Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, Jenkins; Dockerized automation stacks
API testing + AWS validation (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB via SDK)
Security testing (QA context): OWASP Top 10 awareness including access control (IDOR, Broken Access Control), input validation & injection risks (SQLi, XSS), CSRF, SSRF patterns, OAuth 2.0 flow validation using Burp Suite
AI-assisted automation (Playwright Test Agents / MCP workflows)

How I can help

I work with teams to improve quality engineering outcomes — making automation reliable, CI signal trustworthy, and releases safer.

Automation framework architecture

Playwright/Cypress framework structure, fixtures, POM patterns, test data strategy, and maintainability practices.

CI/CD quality strategy

Pipeline design, parallelization strategy, flake control, and defining a clear “ship/no-ship” quality gate.

API + UI hybrid validation

End-to-end flows validated using backend setup + UI checks for faster, more deterministic automation.

Reliability + observability mindset

Actionable reporting and test diagnostics (logs, traces, artifacts) to make failures debuggable and boring.

Security-aware quality engineering

Early identification of security risks aligned with OWASP Top 10 — including IDOR, broken access control, injection flaws, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, and OAuth 2.0 misconfigurations — integrated into QA workflows and CI pipelines.

Note: Some past work is summarized at a high level due to confidentiality.
