Background

About Amrit Kumar Panda

I began my career diving into the trenches of manual testing—meticulously validating every corner of complex enterprise applications. Over time, curiosity turned into code, and I transitioned into test automation, scripting smarter, faster QA pipelines. 🧠 Today, I lead end-to-end test automation strategies using tools like Selenium, Playwright, and PEGA. My focus: building scalable, low-maintenance automation frameworks that catch bugs before they cost time. I specialize in integrating QA seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and AWS. From provisioning test environments on the cloud to automating post-deployment validations, I ensure testing moves at the speed of development- As a Technical Manager, I’ve mentored cross-functional QA and SDET teams across geographies. My leadership style balances clarity, empathy, and a relentless focus on outcomes—whether delivering on tight timelines or navigating legacy modernization. I measure success by outcomes: reduced regression cycles, lower defect leakage, faster releases, and happier developers. One proud moment? Cutting regression time by 75% and enabling bi-weekly releases in a previously waterfall environment. 🧭 : I believe quality isn’t a gate—it’s a culture. My goal is to help organizations ship faster with confidence by embedding testability into architecture, tools, and team mindset.
