Summary
Mani S is a Software Engineer in Test with over a decade of experience designing test automation frameworks and scaling CI/CD reliability for distributed systems and microservices. He has a strong track record across enterprise and startup environments—most recently at Checkr and now at Aetna—delivering Playwright- and Python-based solutions for UI, API, and backend validation. Mani built a config-driven Playwright framework for React workflows, developed automated microservice tests, and reduced production defects while improving pipeline efficiency. He also created an internal LLM evaluation harness to validate structured JSON outputs and introduced AI-assisted workflows that sped up test script and plan creation. A mentor and pragmatic engineering partner, he blends hands-on automation engineering with test strategy, performance testing, and environment tooling to help teams ship reliable software faster. Based in San Francisco, he combines deep legacy QA experience (from CA LISA and Robot Framework to SOA testing) with modern cloud-native and AI-driven practices.
