Summary
Zakaria Chowdhury is a senior SDET based in Texas with a decade of experience delivering robust test automation and quality assurance for web, mobile, and client-server applications. He has built and led test automation frameworks from scratch using Java, Selenium, Appium, Cucumber, TestNG/JUnit and Maven, and architected API testing with Rest Assured and Postman. At eBay and prior roles at NBC Universal and MetLife he drove CI/CD integration using Jenkins and managed code via GitHub/Bitbucket, while mentoring teams to adopt reusable mobile and API automation patterns. Strong SQL skills support his backend and data validation testing, and he routinely authors complex XPath/CSS locators to stabilize UI tests. Comfortable across Agile and Waterfall lifecycles, he combines hands-on scripting with test strategy and defect lifecycle management in JIRA/HP ALM. Despite a QA-focused career, his GitHub bio hints at broader ML and multi-language programming interests, suggesting a penchant for expanding into adjacent engineering domains.
