Senior Software Engineer – Senior Software Engineer (QA Automation)

• Gained strong domain expertise across the entire insurance policy lifecycle, validating policy issuance, policy changes, endorsements, renewals, out-of-sequence (OOS) transactions, and cancellations within Guidewire PolicyCenter, ensuring accurate business processing and regulatory compliance.
• Performed in-depth validation of insurance rating concepts, including coverage calculations, premium computation, rating factors, discounts, surcharges, and underwriting rules, verifying consistency between Guidewire rating engine outputs and downstream systems.
• Executed extensive API testing using Postman and Swagger, creating reusable test collections for REST and SOAP services. Validated request/response contracts, business rules, and error handling across policy, billing, and claims integrations.
• Validated event-driven architectures by verifying Kafka message flows, including producer and consumer payloads, topic subscriptions, event schemas, and data consistency across distributed systems for real-time policy transactions.
• Actively participated in Agile and Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily standups, backlog grooming, and retrospectives, contributing to improved delivery predictability, cross-team collaboration, and continuous delivery.
• Coordinated and supported User Acceptance Testing (UAT) by facilitating defect triage meetings, preparing release readiness reports, delivering live system demonstrations to business stakeholders, and managing acceptance sign-offs across multiple release cycles.
• Created and maintained comprehensive test artifacts, including test scenarios, detailed test cases, execution results, and traceability matrices using qTest, JIRA, and Confluence. Logged and tracked 350+ defects with 92% accuracy, improving risk visibility, audit readiness, and overall software quality.
• Mentored junior QA engineers by guiding them through policy domain concepts, Guidewire workflows, API testing strategies, and Kafka validation. Optimized regression test suites, reducing execution time by 20%, and earned recognition as a Top Performer for delivering consistent, defect-free releases.

Student Habit Analyzer
