Ritesh Pawar

I’m an Automation Test Engineer who’s passionate about building smarter, faster, and more reliable testing solutions. Over the years, I’ve worked on creating scalable test frameworks, automating repetitive tasks, and making sure every release is as smooth as possible.


I enjoy digging into code, solving tricky bugs, and collaborating with developers and QA teams to raise the bar for software quality. Whether it’s writing Selenium scripts, testing APIs with Postman, or integrating with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions—I love making things work better.


Strong hands-on experience with automation tools (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright).Solid understanding of API testing and backend validation. Familiarity with Agile/Scrum workflows. A mindset focused on continuous improvement and clean code. A team-first attitude and a love for learning.
