Divyendu shukla
Staff Software Engineer in Test with ~10 years building scalable automation frameworks and driving quality strategy across functional, security (OWASP), accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and performance layers. Built QA-Agent — an autonomous AI agent (Claude via AWS Bedrock, ReAct loop) that generates Playwright tests, triages failures, runs ZAP security scans, axe-core a11y checks, and k6 load tests from one command. Expert in Playwright, WebdriverIO, CI/CD (CircleCI, GitHub Actions), Docker/Kubernetes, and observability (Datadog, Splunk). Specialized in enterprise SaaS quality engineering, shift-left testing, and microservices testing across distributed systems.
