Vignesh Sekar

Open to opportunities
4+ yrs Quality Systems AI + Automation

QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience delivering quality across fintech, enterprise, web and mobile, and AI-enabled applications.

Strong background in manual and integration testing, with hands-on execution of the STLC — requirement analysis, test planning, test case design, execution, defect management, and release validation in Agile environments.

Experienced in building stable automation frameworks with Robot Framework, Playwright, and Selenium using POM, focused on maintainability, reliability, and flaky test reduction.

Recently expanded into Generative AI and prompt engineering, working on token-efficient prompts and cost-aware LLM usage for practical, production-ready workflows. I use Cursor and AI-assisted tooling to accelerate test design and automation, keeping human QA judgement at the center so teams ship faster with more confidence.

Work style

How I work

  • Methodical quality ownership with attention to edge cases and risk areas
  • Clear defect reporting, triage participation, and fix verification
  • Automation mindset: stable locators, reliable runs, maintainable structure
  • Modern QA: combining testing discipline with AI-assisted efficiency and Cursor-driven workflows

Signature approach

"Prevent defects → stabilize releases → increase trust."

Skills & What I do

How I apply QA practices across different types of testing and delivery work.

Functional Testing

  • Design and execute clear, traceable test cases from requirements and user journeys.
  • Cover happy paths, edge cases, and regression scenarios to protect critical flows.

API / Web Services

  • Validate REST and GraphQL endpoints using Postman and Robot Framework.
  • Check contracts, status codes, payloads, and DB effects for reliability.

AI‑Enabled Testing

  • Use LLMs and tools like Cursor to accelerate test design, data generation, and analysis.
  • Apply Gen AI thoughtfully to improve coverage and speed while keeping human QA judgement in control.

Test Automation

  • Build stable UI and API suites with Robot Framework, Playwright, and Cypress.
  • Use POM, reliable locators, and CI-friendly suites to reduce flakiness.

Mobile & Cross‑Platform

  • Validate responsive UIs across devices, viewports, and browsers.
  • Focus on real user flows to ensure a consistent experience end‑to‑end.

Quality Bug Reports

  • Write concise, reproducible defects with clear impact and evidence.
  • Support triage, prioritization, and verification to keep releases predictable.
