Summary
Palak Patel is a Senior Software Engineer with six years of experience designing, building, and automating quality for web and cloud-native applications across finance, healthcare, and rewards platforms. She has progressed from hands-on QA and automation roles into senior engineering at PointClickCare, blending deep test automation expertise (Selenium, WebDriverIO, Mocha/Chai, CI/CD) with backend validation across SQL and Couchbase and experience in microservice deployments on OpenShift. Palak is comfortable across the stack—writing data-driven API and UI tests, integrating coverage into GitLab/Jenkins pipelines, and scaling distributed test execution with Sauce Labs and Kafka. She has a habit of turning manual regression suites into reliable nightly pipelines and bringing BDD practices to cross-functional teams, which speeds delivery while catching subtle integration issues. Based in the Washington DC–Baltimore area and holding a master’s degree from UT Arlington, she pairs pragmatic engineering with a strong process mindset to improve product quality and release confidence.
